About

Hi! My name is Erin Hookana and I’m an illustrator and artist based in Chicago. I earned my BFA in illustration from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. After that, I lived in New York, where I worked as an illustrator and graphic designer in the fashion industry until I moved back to the midwest in 2012.

My work is inspired by vintage children’s books, animals, fashion, baked goods, and Muppets. I've illustrated for magazines and designed textile patterns, stickers, and more.

When I’m not writing and illustrating children’s books, I’m teaching drawing classes for kids and learning how to sew.
