Award-Winning Book Illustration
Paula Tabor isn’t just a decorative artist. She’s an award-winning book illustrator with a proven track record. In the Award-Winning Book Illustration section, you can see images from the five books she’s illustrated. These are for elementary and middle-grade educational non-fiction and fiction authors. Three of these books have won an impressive 17 awards! They showcase the power of compelling illustration to enhance storytelling.
But Paula doesn’t confine herself to children’s books alone. Her illustration skills span all genres and age ranges.
Custom Book Covers That Stand Out
Many of the images in the Book Covers, Posters, and Decor Art sections were originally designed as sample cover art. They were created not just for literary publishers. Independent authors seeking eye-catching book covers will love these designs. In today’s competitive publishing market, they will find a wealth of professional, custom book cover options. That can make the difference between a browser becoming a buyer.

Digitally Created Portraits: The Decades Series and Beyond
The Digitally Created Portraits section showcases Paula’s exclusive Decades Portrait Series. These are a celebrity portrait collection spanning six decades of cultural icons. The series includes 1970s Aretha Franklin, 1980s David Bowie, and 1990s Milla Jovovich. More current stars include 2000s Will Smith, 2010s Zoe Saldana, and modern Daniel Dae Kim. Each star is depicted in a brilliant, stylized form.
These artworks capture their respective eras with meticulous hand-drawn detail. Skin tones are constructed from carefully arranged shapes of flat colors, creating depth and dimension. Each individual hair strand is crafted in graceful curves and arcs. This creates a unique signature style that sets this celebrity art apart from photo-realistic approaches. Soft pastel backgrounds add contemporary sophistication to any interior.
However, Paula’s signature style isn’t the only option available. Digital art can authentically mimic any traditional media. From oil paint to watercolor, pen and ink to graphite pencil. In the portrait gallery, you’ll see examples in all these styles, demonstrating the versatility of digital illustration.
In addition, portraits aren’t limited to celebrities. You’ll also find examples of custom book cover portrait art and memorial portraits. They are thoughtful, personalized artworks created to honor loved ones. Each face can come from an individual photo. As long as the photographs are of good resolution and clear quality, any composition of multiple photos is possible.
Custom Digital Portrait Commission Pricing: A single-face custom portrait in any style is just $300 with a good reference photograph and half down to begin. In addition, simpler styles like pencil sketches or ink drawings cost even less! Every portrait is hand-drawn specifically for you.
