"The most professional creative artist i could have ever met. He is very professional and puts his all into the project. He went above and beyond to deliver top quality work for me. If you want the best you need to hire Happy Raptor. His communication and attention to detail is just 5 star+. I highly recommend this amazing young ,talented artist for any future work if you want your business, or project to stand out in the best possible way. He is very friendly and accomodating.

I love to paint in Rebelle digital painting software. I feel it is the best for emulating a real traditional look with digital painting. This is an example of a project from a while ago.

Digital Painting (Watercolor style-traditional emulation)

Some demo pages from Issue #1 of "The Legend of the Dark Clown" by Matthew Martino.

Animation/Explainer Videos

It was a privilege to work with Cat-Thao Nguyen and Global Ready this past year. We created an anti-racism animated documentary with lots of history, information, and the project has some of my absolute best work to date. I am thankful and exited that I have permission to share some of it! For now this is one of my favorite paintings from the project, will upload a few more and maybe a short clip or two soon. Enjoy!

Historical Digital Paintings/Anti-Racism Animation

A delightful children's book by Kay Vaughn I had the privilege of working with her on this book, and we are both very proud of the results.

Difficulty with keeping deadlines and unprofessional. I felt like there was no time for changes as he was moving and felt pressured to accept the work as was.

I need a drawing of my friends cats wearing videogame stuff

There are two critical components to being an elite freelancer: 1 - Refine your craft and develop the ability to master subtlety and nuance. Learn to manage what someone thinks about your work and, equally important, what emotion it elicits. 2 - When you invest time, effort, creativity into something and then someone who isn't an artist tells you your work needs to change, you need to be capable of accepting their vision over yours. HappyRaptor is a master of both.

Demo Illustration From Tyler Crane

Tyler heard a summary of my story and illustration vision and was able to provide an amazing piece of art the next day. Not only did he draw my vision, he also captured a feeling I did not realize I had expressed. His attention to detail was great, he is kind and professional, and I am excited to see more of his work.

A Day at the Ballpark: And More Slice of Life Stories

John Schwarz

Like the author’s earlier book, Living Dangerously and Other Slice of Life Stories, the protagonists in A Day at the Ballpark are from a pre-boomer generation that came of age in post-World War II America. The book is rich in experiences and attitudes that prevailed over an 80-year span of life in America.

The Legend of the Dark Clown (comic book)

Matthew Martino, Illustrated by Tyler Crane

The first issue of the Legend of the Dark Clown! Jitters is a simple birthday clown who only wanted to help children open presents on cut their cakes. When he cannot afford to pay back his student loans from clown college, he resorts to a life of crime. As he falls deeper into the Killer Clown Mafia, he becomes a vicious murder whose only escape is to kill every other evil clown in town or face retribution!

The Moon Song: The Song That Became a Book

Teressa J Keys, Illustrated by Tyler Crane

A childlike explanation of eternal love with the message that goodbyes are never forever--- The Moon Song uses wistful poetry with illustrations of dreamy nights to stir the imagination. Used as a sing along or read aloud, it is sure to be a favorite.

Her Tummy Hurts, The Story of a Cat and the Human He Rescued

Monique Domingo

A cat ends ups rescuing the human who adopted him. In this book, he shares a sneak peek into the life of someone coping with mental health challenges. As the journey to healing and recovery is not linear, this emotional support animal remains a constant source of love and warmth. Illustration and Design By Tyler Crane
