THE LION WHO FOUND HIS MANE
November 17, 2025
Born in India, Dharmali Patel moved to Canada to study classical animation. She loves to make art that is visually pleasing and engaging for people of all ages. Dharmali is honored that authors trust her with their words, and allow her to visually invent the world and characters that ultimately become their books. She hopes that her imagery will inspire young minds with beautiful design, provocative lighting, and emotive characterizations that encourage a love of reading and beautiful art.
This book is the first in a series by Hallcyon House Publishing, LLC. Proud to say, as with all of our creatives, No AI here.


STRIKING, DYNAMIC RETRO COMIC STYLE
November 10, 2025
Ian Seo is an illustrator whose work channels a nostalgic, retro-comic-book aesthetic, drawing inspiration from the comic art of the 1940's and 50s. Whether the topic is AI, Global Finance, or Market Dyamics, his bold lines and vintage color palettes evoke a strong sense of story telling. Click here to see more great work from Ian.
