I'm Alina, a Romanian children's book illustrators. I enjoy creating narrative illustrations with lots of color and a bit of humor.

A collage of images. First illustration has a young girl using a magnifying glass to look at the label on a package that she found. We see that the label is ripped and the word remaining on it is "loons". The second illustration shows the same girl from the first illustration interviewing a young boy who is holding a balloon. We then see in the same illustration, that the girl followed the boy to a house. The third illustration shows the same girl as the first two illustrations walking into a room where more children are holding up balloons and adding candles to a cake. They have thrown a surprised birthday party for our girl protagonist and she followed the clues to find the party. The last illustration shows a young boy holding a candle walking towards his mother who's putting a pumpkin in the window. The boy is surprised to see his dog as he reaches the high table and tries to pull down another carved pumpkin.

In kindergarten Anna discovered she doesn't need her teddy bear after all. The room is filled with children listening attentively to their teacher who reads them a story.

Hey #kidlit illustrators!

We’re beginning to think through a mythology-themed beginning-reader series. I'm looking for someone w/ a commercial/punchy, character-forward style who can breath life into ancient lore.

Please respond w/ samples + folio link.
Please no emails/DMs.

After eating the berries that were gifted to them, a chipmunk and a squirrel awake in a parallel world of perpetual night barely in time to catch a glimpse of the real world versions of themselves who are now in deep slumber.

That sounds like a wonderful setting!

The detective (a young girl) finally finds what she was looking for, after following the trail of clues, a birthday party for herself! The scene shows the detective looking through the door at her friends who are a bit surprised to find her there so early!

Hi, I'm Alina, a children's book illustrator, and I wanted to share my portfolio with you: www.alpacasbookshelf.com/illustration

Best of luck in your search!

A comical scene unfolds on a tropical beach, where a rabbit wizard is levitating an exceptionally agile pika to the top of an ancient temple, so that they can claim the enormous emerald sitting above the entrance. Although triumph is within reach, the statues around them have come to life. #kidlitart

A young detective is investigating the source of the clue she found earlier, a ripped label with the letters "loons"; could it be balloons? She also questions the boy she sees with the balloons to try to find out what they are for and why her father bought them without telling her. #kidlitart #middlegrade

Not necessarily kids art only, but that has been my focus lately. You can DM me with your project idea and we can take it from there.

Thank you! <3
