About Robin
Hi there! I am Robin L. Davis.
I am an illustrator and designer. I've worked as a professional artist since 2016 when I graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2016 with a BFA focused on Sequential Art. I went on to attain an MFA degree with the same focus in 2022.
I specialize in different areas of my work, from creating comics and picture books to editorial illustrations, tutoring, and branding. I work primarily with Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, and Procreate but have also created projects with Illustrator, Indesign, Premiere Pro, Figma, and Storyboard Pro.
My biggest professional project is with writer Varian Johnson, where I will be illustrating his series TWINS books 2-4 published by Scholastic. One of my biggest personal projects is a webcomic that I worked on for 10 years called Molly Comics, which is semi-autobiographical and follows a mouse navigating her self-confidence while dealing with daily hijinks.
