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
