Hi there!

I’m Erin Boe, a freelance children’s illustrator and comic artist living in Minnesota with my partner and two kids. I graduated from the University of Minnesota with my BFA in Studio Art and I just finished working on illustrations for my sixth children’s book. I also love developing arts curriculum for kiddos and can occasionally be found around the Twin Cities teaching painting, drawing, printmaking, or comic arts.

I’ve always loved drawing, but I also love writing. My short stories have been published in Revolver literary journal, Writing Tomorrow magazine, and placed as finalists in contests with the Loft Literary Center and Vita.MN magazine. I make comics, too, and I’ve written a Young Adults novel. Basically, I spend all of my time writing, illustrating, and imagining for children and young adults!

Interested in working with me on your book? Drop me an email at erinboe@gmail.com or simply fill out the contact form below.

Can’t wait to hear from you. <3

Testimonials

Erin was absolutely wonderful to work with!

She brought a very serious and difficult subject to life in the most relatable and beautiful of ways.  I am blown away with how well Erin conveyed the exact emotion of every character throughout the book.  I couldn’t be happier with the images that she created for my story.

Saying that working with Erin is a pleasure doesn’t cover it.

She brings a reliable professionalism to the table that keeps the project focused on the art…She has the ability to deliver and the gentle, creative spirit to provide insights that only make the original concept better. I would say yes to working with Erin again without hesitation!

It was truly a pleasure working with Erin on our first book.

She eagerly took the ideas and made the characters come to life!  After the book was published, she helped us create marketing materials using visuals that made our book “pop!”

Erin never ceased to amaze me

with her very creative drawings and her willingness to re-do details that I asked for. I am thrilled with the results. I feel that she contributed so much to the successful outcome of the finished book. It seems that others felt so too, because it won the Moonbeam Children’s Book Award.
