J.J. Huerta is a Houston-based artist, educator and children’s picture book illustrator with a big love for world traveling adventures, dogs, coffee, and creativity on the go —especially when there’s an iPad with Procreate® in his backpack!

Ever since I could hold a pencil, I’ve been drawn to the world of art and illustration. My journey began with doodles in the margins of textbooks and quickly evolved into a lifelong pursuit of visual storytelling. I’ve always believed that art has the power to communicate, inspire, and transform, and that’s what fuels my creative spirit.

Artist, Illustrator, Author & Educator

As an artist, my style is a blend of vibrant, colorful and feel-happy impressions. I’m constantly experimenting with techniques, colors, and mediums to bring my imagination to life. Whether it’s through intricate pen and ink drawings or vivid digital illustrations, I aim to create visuals that resonate with the heart and mind. Recently, I have been fascinated with the infinite creative possibilities that digital media has to offer, and in particular Procreate® and drawing in the iPad.

As an illustrator, I love the challenge of translating words into visuals. Whether it’s illustrating children’s books, designing eye-catching graphics for marketing campaigns, or creating editorial illustrations, I thrive on bringing ideas to life in a visually compelling way. My work often revolves around children’s book illustrations, art education and multimedia.
