Images are made, first in the head,   
            Drawn up from the soul as we lie in our bed,
What ever you saw,whatever they said,
Is shaken, and put on paper instead.  

                                   

The art of animation naturally leads one into the realm of illustration, to create the ideal moment of visual time-out-of-motion to express a particular story point or idea.The illustration should at once ingage the viewer's curiousty, irrespective of the subject, and then, as they are drawn into the material,to illuminate that subject. 
 
 
Van Allen Illustration Service combines experience in print, film,animation and even murals to bring you images that inspire while they inform, educate while they elucidate,and amuse while they communicate.   
The Reverend Mr. Frog.(From Dr.John Turner's tune of the same name) 
He preaches each day 
And to all he has sway 
A lilly pad congregation. 
"Pray for more rain" 
Is his lasting refrain 
And his soggy frog reputation.
