Hello, I’m a Colombian freelance illustrator.

I am Lwillys Tafur, I was born and raised in Barranquilla, Colombia and I have always been interested in children's illustration. As a child, I was inspired by 90’s animated TV shows and influenced by the color of the city I was born in and its Carnival. This is the reason why my work has such a distinctly colorful nature. Children's books and telling stories are my real passion. I work mainly digitally but never forget my sketchbook.

Some of the amazing clients I’ve worked with include Nick Jr (USA), Scholastic, Igloo Books, Vista Higher Learning, Adobe Latam, Editorial Planeta (Colombia), Ediciones Pichoncito (Perú), and many others.
