Junie ParkIllustration Start a project

Illustrator in Seattle, Washington

Every project is a new adventure.

Junie Park draws characters with somewhere to go — picture books, editorial art and character work that carries a story from the first pencil line to the final printed page.

Services

Five characters, five kinds of commission

Each one steps out of line and takes the stage: the same artist and the same care, but a different set of skills for each part of the work.

Act I

Children's books

Picture-book spreads, endpapers and covers, from the first rough thumbnail to the last page turn.

Act II

Editorial illustration

One clear idea, drawn quickly and warmly, for articles, essays and anything else that needs a picture.

Act III

Character design

Lineups, expressions and turnarounds — a cast that stays itself in every pose and every panel.

Act IV

Book covers

Cover art built to read from across a shelf, composed with room left for the title and the type.

Act V

Licensing

Characters and patterns drawn for products, packaging and print, ready to live beyond the page.

Process

How a commission runs

Every project moves at its own pace, but the path is always the same four steps.

  1. 01

    Say hello

    You send the story, the audience, the deadline and anything you already have — a manuscript, a brief or just an idea.

  2. 02

    Sketches

    Rough thumbnails come first, so the composition and the characters are settled long before any color goes down.

  3. 03

    Color

    The approved drawing becomes a finished illustration — light, color and the small decisions that make a page feel alive.

  4. 04

    Final files

    Print-ready artwork delivered with layered working files, in the formats your printer or publisher asks for.

The studio

Pencil first, always.

Junie Park is an illustrator in Seattle, Washington. Every commission starts the same way: a pencil, a stack of paper and a character who needs somewhere to go.

Books, articles, covers and licensed products all get the same care. The drawing has to hold up whether it ends up on a shelf, a screen or a label.
