Day 463: Jessica Gibson

About:

“My name is Jessica, a freelance illustrator born from the riverfront area of Detroit, Michigan. I been drawing whimsical , expressive characters and concept art since the moment I first picked up a pencil. A love of animals, nature, and picture books have always inspired me and led to a career in illustration.
I start doing art professionally after graduating from Wayne County Community College with an Associate of Arts and start getting inquiries for picture books work. Personally loving how children’s books could transport us into a magical, inviting, and fantastic world, I try to reflect this into my work too.

I had produced illustrations for a number of publishers and brands, including picture books, editorial spot pieces, packaging design, and surface patterns. Whatever project I work on, I make sure the final outcome have a real sense of fun!”
