Made in Sunny Los Angeles by Monika K

Inspired by my favorite books, hand-lettering and Phrenology (the art of mapping personality traits), I've created an ongoing series of illustrations called Type Maps. Using a list of words and characters pulled from books I read, I “map" them on to a recognizable symbol or character that represents the story as a whole. Sometimes I'll even exile a villain from my art because they don't deserve the attention!

I began my career as an illustrator many lifetimes ago and have owned my own design studio for decades. I am a voracious reader and my love for books knows no bounds, but I mostly read romance (historical, contemporary, queer), historical fiction, fantasy and YA. Type Maps are from some of my all-time favorite books by my all-time favorite authors.
