Imagine your favorite cartoon character. Now take away the solid black outlines, and picture them rendered in the soft, familiar style of a painter like Norman Rockwell. What you’ve got in mind is the work of Joel Santana, who creates fun, charming, and expressive illustrations in a unique style that’s inspired by two of the finest traditions in American image-making – Disney movies and mid-century Realism.

Some of Joel’s clients include Champs/FootLocker, Walt Disney World, Royal Bobbles, Dunn & Co Advertising, Hot Topic, BoxLunch, Publix and Acme Archives Direct.
