Judith C. says, "I saw the work the artist did for her wedding invites and I loved it so much I asked her to make something for my fiancé and I. It’s a painting of us as our favorite Pokémon 💙 my fiancé was very surprised when I showed him the completed work. He loved it. I even made a water bottle for him with the painting on it. There was a lot of communication. They kept me informed every step of the way. Even gave me options of how I wanted the Pokémon posed etc. really great to work with."See more

I had an awesome experience working with Picstell( Illustrator) NY I was on a deadline for my book : Divine Dreams and she was kind enough to fit me in and check in with me to make sure that I was satisfied with the illustrations. She seemed extremely intuitive to be able to capture the images for my book as I had imagined them. I highly recommend this illustrator based on her professionalism value and skills!

I hired Alex to make some illustrations for a children's book. Alex worked well with the content, incorporated my ideas, and generated his own ideas. He was always very responsive via email and had reasonable turn-around times on the illustrations.

I was seeking an illustrator to turn my 10 year old grandson's 'origin myth' story he wrote as a class assignment into a picture book for his future children. Working with Jasmine remotely (I'm in California and she's in Mississippi) over Zoom, I was pleased with her careful listening to my ideas, her imaginative adaptation, and her skillful rendering. She produced 10 vibrant illustrations within my budget and timeline. She exceeded my expectations. Everyone who's seen the book has commented very favorably about her imagery and execution.
