About Me
"You know how some articles or books have illustrations that really stick with you? I create those. I work with editors and authors to make their stories come alive with whimsical, character-focused art. I start by putting pencil to paper, work in traditional mediums, before finishing my work digitally, so everything has a unique, handmade feel.
Micah Champion is a narrative and editorial illustrator creating compelling, character-driven art with a whimsical and adventurous spirit. Blending traditional methods with a digital finish, he helps publishers and editorial clients tell their stories through expressive characters, atmospheric color, and dynamic composition
For Micah, every image is an opportunity to tell a story. His work is driven by a passion for narrative, creating compelling, character-focused illustrations that blend a classic storybook feel with a fresh, modern aesthetic. From expressive character designs to full-page editorial illustrations, his art is marked by a sense of whimsy, adventure, and sincere warmth. Micah combines the tactile energy of traditional media with the flexibility of a digital workflow. His process often begins with pencil, ink, and paint before being brought to a final polish digitally, a method that infuses his work with both handmade charm and professional clarity. He partners with clients in the publishing and editorial industries, using a proven, collaborative process to translate ideas into memorable images. Beyond his client work, Micah is committed to building a community around the joy of creativity. He is developing a Patreon to share his process and an Etsy shop for digital products, aiming to make his art more accessible and provide valuable tools for fellow artists.
