JP Roberts is an illustrator from a small rural town in Northwest Florida. Surrounded by cotton fields and cattle, it is a beautiful place to create. JP has always loved reading and found his passion for creating at a very early age. Some of his earliest childhood influences were Arnold Lobel, Quentin Blake, Garth Williams, and Beatrix Potter. His love of pencil, ink, and watercolors comes from their amazing illustrations! JP is a primarily self taught artist, but attended the Savannah College of Art & Design for computer art and animation. Although he enjoys working in traditional styles, JP mainly works digitally, in Procreate and Photoshop. Throughout his career, he has illustrated projects for a wide variety of clients including Cricket Media, Friesen Press Publishers, and numerous advertising agencies. Through these ad agencies, JP won a number of Addy awards for his illustration, animation, and design work.
