Hello, my name is Rohan Newton. I am a graduate of The Academy of Art University and currently still reside in San Francisco CA. While I majored in Fine Art Sculpture, (and still love to sculpt) during the end of my studies I fell in love with Illustration and am pursuing the field full time.

My inspirations include turn of the century children’s book illustrators such as Arthur Rackham, Ivan Bilibin, Edmund Dulac, and Kay Nielsen, concept artists Mary Blair, Eyvind Earl, and Tyrus Wong, and fantasy artists Alan Lee and John Howe to name a few. I also draw inspiration from classic children’s literature, classic adult literature, and fairy tales and fantasy.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions and/ or requests.
