Nofio Pecoraro

I grew up in New Orleans, which is where I initially started to develop an interest in visual storytelling.  My grandfather was an art director/designer for Jax Brewery, and a painter. I believe that spending time around him as a youth helped me develop a love for drawing and painting. Later on down the road I decided I wanted to make it my life. I then attended Portfolio Center in Atlanta, GA, where I was enrolled in the illustration program, which focused heavily on children's books. I have been working on a variety of freelance projects for major television networks including a series of designs for the show Eastbound and Down, ZhuZhu Pets and Pokemon, but I am eager to apply myself toward illustrating children's books. I enjoy using digital and traditional mediums and am passionate about compelling storytelling
