Sean's Art:
All of the illustrations Sean Madden provides publishers with are drawn and painted by hand. While his paintings have been very successful, Sean is particularly sought after for his pen and ink skills. In the Vito the Pig series, pen and ink is used because of the simple, illustrative power that it carries as a medium. A great deal can be said with just a few carefully placed scratches of the pen.
Below are samples from the books "Vito and the Magic Bread," and "Vito and the Mudmen from Guinea Pig Island."
