Hi! My name is Erin Keen and I’m a freelance illustrator based in the sunny seaside city of Brighton in the UK. I have 10 years of freelance experience with clients including Sony and Penguin Random House. I work a mixture of digitally and hand drawn and am very competent in both. I specialise in gouache painting but am very comfortable in a range of medias and love the combination of hand drawn and digital techniques. I have worked on projects ranging from book covers and album artwork to logo design. I have also illustrated a childrens book called ‘Happy Music Playbook’ by concert pianist Cordelia Williams. I have a passion for interiors and they heavily feature in my client and personal work. I offer portrait commissions with include items from the clients home which adds a really lovely personal touch. I am open to any project which comes my why and I approach everything with enthusiasm! I love a challenge so don’t hesitate to get in touch with any ideas. Hope to hear from you! Erin
