In preparing our legendary gift ideas post (coming soon!), we also thought it’d be fun to include some great freelance artists that you can commission for yourself (or a friend) — which, by the by, makes a fabulous present.
But as with our subscription boxes, we quickly got carried away. So we’re splitting this post featuring amazing artists into its own thing.
Support the art community, spread the love, and get art of your characters. Pretty sweet deal. Also, all the artists marked with a (*) are offering special limited-time discounts for supporters of our fundraiser, so get in on that!
Just a note: Keep in mind that the industry term “kidlit” encompasses everything from picture books to young adult. We’ve put together this list with that in mind.
