I wanted to take a moment and introduce you to a wonderful artist, Diana Levin.  She illustrates books and designs covers.

She is a multi-passionate gal from LA, California, and I want to do it all.Unfortunately, sometimes she has to specialize in order to find that illusive niche that everyone keeps talking about.   She is not just one thing and cannot really define herself as just one thing.

She is an illustrator, but also enjoy other creative endeavors like crafts and handmade and at times find myself obsessed with mixed media and 3D art. Her dream is to gain financial independence through her art business so she can travel the world and experience different cultures and adventures.

You are not going to find cute little teddy bears and happy smiling babies here. If you are looking for cutsy wutsy, you are in the wrong place.  Her work is all about monsters, dragons and all sorts of fantasy creatures.  It can be cute, but only in a creepy kind of way—definitely not for babies and very small children.

Her work is a profusion of intricate details, organic flowing lines and a touch of a little Art Nouveau here and there. She grew up with a love for dark fairy tales and a deep admiration for Children Book illustrators like Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac. Fantasy art for her has always been a way to escape into another world. She believes that an illustrated book should be like a window into a realm of possibilities and adventure, a playground of imagination and fun. And that is exactly what I do—bring stories to life through illustration.There is nothing more exciting for her then to give you a glimpse into a strange new world where anything is possible.
