“Mike illustrated my first children’s picture book, Never Swim Alone. I gave him the text to read. He created the characters, and brought the story to life. He was a joy to work with, and it is his artwork that sells the book.”

“I looked for an illustrator for my first children’s book for over a year. Every time I FINALLY found someone, it was a difficult process to get on the same page, connect, and have them actually do any work. Everyone quit the project before they even got started. I felt pretty discouraged.
I found Mike’s work online, reached out, and to my pleasant surprise, he messaged back quickly. We scheduled to chat the next day, and again, to my pleasant surprise, kept the appointment time and talked to me! Finally! A professional artist!
He was kind, thorough, asked good questions, and was eager for the work. It was a seamless process getting started, and throughout the entire project, he communicated well and put me at ease all along the way.
Looking back, I’m grateful I had such a hard time finding an illustrator. Mike was absolutely the right one to bring the project home. He was professional, he did an amazing job on my book, and I would highly recommend him.
Hire him. He won’t let you down.”
