FROM the CREATOR, Karen Luk
I AM a freelance illustrator and art instructor. I've previously self-published comics and this will be my first children's book endeavor. My art work has been exhibited at Google and featured at the Cartoon Art Museum as the Small Press Spotlight. At the Charles M. Schulz Museum, I was a Cartoonist-in-Residence.
I was inspired to make the Steampunk ABC book to share my vision of the steampunk aesthetic. Creating this book is a challenge of my digital skills and imagination and I hope you can be part of it!
