Welcome to the world of jlbandeenart! Illustration for me, is a way to express my love of art in a non-pretentious manner. My art is created for the pure joy of making it. I love creating characters and scenarios that leave viewers guessing what the story is. I read scads of children's books and am inspired by the artwork of fellow illustrators that touches that "unknown" place inside of me. If you are an artist, you know what I mean. ~ J. L. Bandeen
