Featured in this book...

Devin Elle Kurtz is a 24-year-old digital illustrator, visual development artist, and background painter, with a focus on fantasy creatures and colorful environments. She works full-time on the Netflix animated series Disenchantment as lead background artist, but still makes time to focus on personal projects and business interests. Of particular note is Devin’s love of nature, with her whimsical scenes often featuring animals, fantastical creatures, and people within richly-lit scenes.

His modern-day witches and ghost cats have earned him a big online fanbase, with 345K followers on Instagram and popular accounts on Twitch, YouTube, and Patreon. Simone’s main inspiration comes from American comics, anime, and manga, as well as his idyllic surroundings and artists from his hometown. In his debut book, The Art of Simz, Simone shares his experiences working as a full-time artist, including professional milestones, challenges faced along the way, and how to pursue a career in the industry.
