Hoang Giang

Jacob Souva

Jacob Souva was born and raised in Syracuse, New York, where he earned an illustration BFA from Syracuse University. He loves to make kids laugh and think with his illustration work, which he often finishes digitally, placing a lot of emphasis on simple shapes, color, and lots and lots of texture. Jacob lives with his wife and two sons in a small countryside community in upstate New York.

Honie Beam

Honie Beam was once let loose in a library and never looked back. In pursuit of her childhood goals to become an artist, an author and a smoothie maker, she studied Illustration and Sequential Art at Maryland Institute College of Art. Now based in Greenville, South Carolina Honie spends her free time drinking (a lot) of coffee, playing (badly) the mandolin, and doodling (on important documents) dragons. Her work is inspired by the countless books she consumed as a child and a desire to spark that same passion in others.

Jannie Ho

Jannie Ho loves illustrating books for kids, and sometimes she writes them too. She lives in the greater Boston area with her family and a pet fish, Sir Bubbles. In her free time, she loves drawing herself as a chicken in comics.
