Leo Hartas Illustration

I have been an illustrator for over 25 years and have many books published. I have 2 cats, one a tortoiseshell called Inky and another a big white fluffy fella called Dracula.

A book commission I did with Patrick Bridger through Reedsy. Lots of knockabout veggie fun. It's on Amazon.⁠ ⁠ #illustration #childrensbook #childrensillustration #drawing #reedsy #vegetables #kidsreading #kidsbook #kidsbooks #growingveg #sketch #clipstudio #illustratorsofinstagram #instart #illustrationgram #illustrator #childrens #childrensbooks #bookillustration #artist #freelance #leohartas #cartoon #kidlitart childrensbookillustration #childrenswritersguild #illustragram #whimsicalart #kidlit #veg #illustratorsoninstagram⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CGj7Mb9HbIg/?igshid=i6mclc13i1a5

Book cover I illustrated for I.G.Reilly. I'll post some of the black and white interior illustrations later. Wonderful story about a brilliant teenage girl and her inventions that can see the truth about relationships. Who actually fancies who! Trouble ensues!⁠ ⁠ #illustration #childrensbook #childrensillustration #teenstory #art #teenbooks #kidsreading #kidsbooks #bookcoverillustration #sketch #illustratorsofinstagram #instart #illustrationgram #illustrator #childrens #childrensbooks #bookillustration #artist #freelance #leohartas #creative #kidlitart #childrensbookillustration #childrenswritersguild #illustragram #lovestory #madinvention #kidlit #fonts #illustratorsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CDUjc1lH3FK/?igshid=utbg7jsydbys

Book cover from a recent commission. It was perfect!
