Her Shop ~ Lauren Castillo Illustration

"I am an Author/Illustrator currently living in New York City. I work out of my cozy Brooklyn studio, happily writing and drawing stories for a living -- that's children's books.

When I can, I love to draw on location -- the city never fails to influence and inspire my storytelling through its words and lines."

  11. Your art takes me to the place, or atleast where the place looks like to me. Great detail. The first one reminds me of Sesame Street!
