About this gig
To avoid cancellation, please message me before placing any order.
I'm Mauro Lirussi, a children's book illustrator working here to collaborate with self-publishing authors.
Alongside my graphic designer partner, we offer a one stop shop for book creation:
- Character design,
- Fully painted illustrations,
- Cover illustration,
- Book formatting and design for publication on Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or the printer of your choice.
I value coming up with interesting and effective visual storytelling, so we can present your story in a meaningful way, and my partner will prepare all the files you need for printing.
Our process:
- Contact me with your story and we'll discuss further details.
- Once we decide to move forward, I'll begin by working on pencil sketches.
- I'll proceed to hand-paint the illustrations.
- As you give the final approval on the art, the designer will start working on the ready-to-print PDF and the eBook files (ePub or mobi).
- We want to guarantee your book will be approved by the printer, so you'll have full support during the process.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

I'm Mauro Lirussi and I'm working with self-publishing authors to create children's books.
I'm a published illustrator with over 15 years of experience, during which I've written some picture books and several other illustrated stories myself.
Moon Cow is my illustration and design studio for independent children's books. I work alongside graphic designer Araceli Tatarczuk to offer authors a one-stop-shop to get their book ready to publish.
Contact me if you find my art style suitable for your project.

FAQ
Do you offer samples?
Yes, but please message me before placing any order. After discussing and agreeing to move forward, you can order a pencil sketch or a colored page as a sample.
How do we start?
You can send me the full manuscript, or we can start with a description and an excerpt of your book. You can also add references and publishing details such as trim size, printer, etc.
How long will it take my book to be illustrated?
It depends on the length of your book, the complexity of the illustrations, number of revisions and other commitments I could have at the moment. As a reference, a 32 page book can take about 1 month of full time work. I might not be able to accept rush orders.
Will my book be ready for self-publishing?
Yes. We deliver ready to print files and ready to upload eBook files (PDF, ePub and mobi). This covers text layout, typesetting, margins, bleed and everything you need to seamlessly publish your book on a print on demand platform such as Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or other.
Will you illustrate anything?
No. I won't illustrate things I wouldn't attach my name to, and I'm not comfortable doing visual depictions of scatological themes (which seems to have its place among children's books). We can discuss everything else, but I might still turn down certain offers.
Can you illustrate in any style?
No. Please go through my portfolio in order to evaluate the variety of styles and techniques I work with. I'm open to talk about this, but know that I don't do digital painting, and I can't copy someone else's style. It's best to choose an illustrator because you already like their existing work.
Can you pick up where my previous illustrator left / can you illustrate on top of my sketches?
Probably not. Feel free to send me existing sketches and storyboards as a reference, but I'll want to have my own input on the visual storytelling, and I'll only work with my own drawings and style.
What do you use to create an illustration?
I work mainly with traditional mediums and digital editing. Depending on the work, I might use acrylics, watercolor, color pencils, collage, or a combination of them. Please note that I don't do digital paintings or vector art.
Who owns the copyright of the work ordered on Fiverr?
On Fiverr, all the rights of the delivered work are transferred to the customer, unless the seller has previously specified otherwise. We reserve the right of attribution and integrity of our work: the illustrator will be credited and the art won't be manipulated.

I am absolutely thrilled with the illustrations Mauro created for my children's book. He is talented beyond belief, and understood my brief perfectly. He has really bought my story to life with the colours, characters and visual appeal of his work, not to mention the humour he has brought to the story....
