Historical Art
& Graphic Design
by LadyWithPug
Hello and welcome on my Services page.
I am illustrator with previous work experience for an advertising agency as a graphic designer, where I was creating various promo materials for printhouse use.
As life-long Jane Austen and Regency Era fan, I decided to combine my skills with love to history and Historical Fiction.
So if you are a writer, historian and need your articles to be completed with illustrations or other visuals; you are Historical Fiction author looking for an artist, to bring your book characters and locations to life, to design your book exterior or illustrate its interior, to favor your readers with custom-designed stationery, and boost your promotional process with visuals; or you organise a history-themed event, book launch party, book club meeting and need for some art for decorations, stationery or favors for the party guests,
here is some areas where my skills could be useful for you:
- ❤︎
Custom original illustrations in various styles
(black-and-white, watercolor, silhouettes, digital art, mixed media):
- - characters (portraits or full-height)
- - full-page illustration with background setting
- - book/series family trees or characters charts
- - bookplates
- - spot or object illustrations to be used in book interior design (or for social media posts decor): custom chapter stoppers / openers / section breaks illustration
In addition I can offer design services, based on my art:
- ❤︎ Cover design (hardbacks and paperbacks: front+spine+back / audiobook / digital cover): art, modern vector, silhouettes, cartoon styles.
- ❤ Social marketing graphics: templates for quotes, banners, backs for stories and posts.
- ❤ Promo materials design (professionally turning my art to printhouse-ready layouts): bookmarks, postcards, stickers, party favors etc., according to technical requirements of your printhouse.
- ❤ Coloring line art version of my illustration to be used as printable coloring pages.
- ❤ Promotion on my Instagram and Facebook, my website (Ads section on the main page), Pinterest and my e-mail Newsletter: video records of drawing process, picture posts, reviews etc.
- ❤ Book teaser/trailer or animated video posts (for example, a combination of my animated art and a book quote).
- ❤ Other graphics for your book launch party, Regency-themed event, bookclub meeting. I have also experience in creating backdrops for theatre plays.
For each project I create custom original art from scratch, according to your needs. Please, note:
I do not trace photos from internet to avoid copyright issues.
But you can refer to photos or pictures to use as inspiration for hairstyles, facial features, costume or interior details, colors etc.
I do not take commissions on fan art for popular book series or shows (such as Bridgerton, for example) to be used for resale or on merch, unless you are the author of the original novels and own all rights to the text and characters!

❛❛ Julia's artwork for my novel My Rock and My Refuge are perfect representations of how I imagined my characters and location! They were ideal for online promos, and I used printed versions as part of the preorder swag packages I offered for the book's launch. She also designed a new author logo for me that I absolutely love. ❜❜

❛❛ I was introduced to Julia via my Editor. Julia is amazing, always listening to my crazy ideas for covers and promo material, and always managing to produce exactly what I'm after. She always goes that extra mile and I have received so much from her as part of the deals we put together for the 1st and 2nd books in my series; at a brilliant price as well may I add! I look forward to continuing working on book 3 this year with Julia, who is a key member of my team ❜❜

❛❛ When I first met Julia online a few years back looking for someone to design a front cover for my novel Austen Secret I was really taken in by her attention to detail - so much so that I actually altered the novel to fit her image into the story. ❜❜
