book illustration concept art

"I Hope You Miss Me Sometimes" is a stunning illustrated book concept that serves as concept art for a captivating graphic novel. The story follows a young girl who becomes consumed with her past to the point where she falls down a rabbit hole, experiencing a series of surreal and haunting events.

Each chapter of the graphic novel delves into a different photo from her past, which draws her deeper into her memories and ultimately, into herself. The art and illustrations are skillfully crafted to capture the essence of each photo, while also exploring the emotions and complexities of the main character's journey.

This is a series of acrylic paintings on canvas. The paintings feature nature scenes with portals to outer space within them.

girl and the personified plants

book concept illustration

The "Girl and Personified Plants" project is a concept illustration for a graphic novel that tells the story of a lonely young girl and her cat who live alone in a cabin in the woods. The illustration depicts the girl surrounded by personified plants with faces and human heads. The project aims to capture the magical and mysterious world of the underground where plants come to life and interact with humans.

The illustration features an intricate composition that highlights the contrast between the girl's solitary world and the detailed world of the plants. The girl's body language is of surprise and wonder as she looks at the plants with awe and curiosity. The plants, on the other hand, are depicted with human-like features that make them appear terrifying.

The concept of the graphic novel explores themes of loneliness, self-discovery, and the power of nature. The girl's journey from isolation to finding a community in the underground world of personified plants is a compelling and heartwarming story that will resonate with readers of all ages.

the wheel of fortune

tarot card illustration

This illustration is my stylized take on the major arcana tarot card "The Wheel of Fortune"

The Wheel of Fortune tarot card embodies the cyclical nature of life, symbolizing change, cycles, and the ever-turning wheel of destiny. Depicting a wheel with various hands turning it, it represents the ups and downs we encounter on our journey. This card reminds us that life is full of fluctuations, where circumstances can shift from favorable to challenging and back again. It serves as a reminder of the impermanence of both good and bad times, urging us to embrace change and adapt to the ebb and flow of existence. The Wheel of Fortune encourages us to find equilibrium in the midst of change, understanding that our actions and decisions play a role in shaping our destiny as we navigate the twists and turns of life's grand wheel.

“Kait is a dream to work with. She is responsive, creative, makes adjustments with grace and delivers. I get so many compliments on everything she does for me! Thank you Kait!”

Jenna Janisch, Owner of Into The Ether

“I hired Kait for a project gave her little to no direction at all since I didn't really know what I wanted. I told her she had creative freedom for this, and it did not disappoint! She matched the vibe and branding I was going for with the two marketing videos she made for me as well as helping me vectorize my logo. She was fast, easy to work with, and overall a creative legend! I look forward to working with her again on my book cover!.”

Katlyn Gdula, Owner of The Yellow Alchemist

"I got a lot out of my meeting with Kait. She’s such a lovely person to talk to and she gave me the confidence I needed to put myself and my art out there. I feel like a more confident and content artist after speaking with her. "

Annie Holley of @holley.sketch

"I commissioned an illustration for my website from Kait. She got into contact with me through Calendly via Zoom call in a very timely manner. The process was smooth and easy, Overall just a very pleasant experience. I am 100% returning for more in the future."

Tom Intos

Nope! Here at Kait Merryman Art, we want you to see MAJOR results after working with us, which is exactly why we only offer full brand design packages.
