Howdy!
I’m CS Jennings. I’m an illustrator and author living in Austin, Texas. Creativity, design, storytelling, collaboration—these are the things that get me excited.
I’m the Austin chapter Illustrator coordinator.
I love writing and illustrating for children. I’ve illustrated 24+ books for major publishers.
I wrote Hello, Texas! (Sterling Publishing). I was the author-illustrator of the picture book Animal Band (also Sterling Publishing). I illustrated From An Idea to Disney, on the Texas Bluebonnet Master List 2020-2021. I’ve drawn books for Penguin Group Books, Houghton Mifflin, Scholastic, Stone Arch Books, and Sterling Publishing, to name a few (see below for the full list). I love collaborating with art directors and editors. (I especially enjoy the revision process of the book. Weird, I know.) Storytelling has always inhabited my drawing. As I write more, my stories find their expression in words.
I do a ton of illustration for the children’s markets, but I go wherever my pencil will take me. Publishing, gaming, editorial, advertising, entertainment, commercial, apparel, apps, greeting cards—yep, I’ve pretty much done everything that has to do with drawing.
