Hi! I’m Nathan Furton, a Maryland-based illustrator creating playful, character-driven worlds that feel both imaginative and emotionally grounded. My work balances humor with sincerity, often drawing from memories and experiences centered around curiosity, play, and wonder.
I focus on expressive characters and immersive environments, emphasizing bold color, texture, and personality. My process combines the clarity and flexibility of digital tools with the charm and tactile quality of traditional media.
I’m currently pursuing a BFA in Illustration at Towson University, where I’m developing my storytelling through original picture book projects designed to feel inviting, memorable, and leave readers smiling.
