I am seeking a talented illustrator to bring to life a book dedicated to my grandparents, who were Irish immigrants to the United States in the 1870s ultimately homesteaded on the Kansas prarie. The book explores their encounters with American Indians, serving a grasshopper plague, and raising a family of 12 children. 17 illustrations are needed for the book. The illustrations should capture their journey, experiences, and the essence of that era. If you have a passion for history and storytelling through art, I would love to see your portfolio and discuss how we can collaborate on this meaningful project. The ideal candidate will have experience in illustrating historical themes and a strong ability to convey emotions through imagery.
