JANE ZIMMERMANN
Children´s Books & Characters
Hi, I am an illustrator and artist based in Tromsø, Norway. My life and work have taken me all around the world, allowing me to experience many different cultures, beautiful peopl, and sights that have inspired my illustrations a lot.
As a children’s illustrator, I love quirky and cute characters, animals, mangas, monsters, muted colours, big eyes and polka dots. I mostly create my little worlds and characters digitally, but sometimes also use ink and draw by hand.
I hope you like my little weird and wonderful world and will find something in it that sparks your imagination. If you would like us to be creative together or have any other questions, please get in touch with me via jane(at)pixiepencil.com anytime and I will get back to you.
