Remote Illustrator – Junior Contract

This role is for a talented illustrator to bring to life a unique children's adventure story featuring Bruffa the Rabbit and his companions. The book is aimed at readers aged 8–13 and blends wry humor, fast-paced action, and imaginative settings. The story follows three rabbits on a daring journey to the moon, where they encounter enslaved moon rabbits, wicked vultures and ravens, and form unlikely alliances with snakes and spiders. The illustrations should capture the quirky personalities of the characters, the tension and excitement of their adventures, and the fantastical lunar and Martian landscapes. The ideal candidate will be able to create engaging, expressive artwork that appeals to children and enhances the storytelling experience.
