Greetings! My name is Dirk Joseph. I am a Baltimore based visual artist. With over three decades of experience as a freelance illustrator, I've honed my skills in crafting vibrant and captivating graphic designs and illustrations for a diverse range of client projects. Beyond illustration, I'm also a versatile artist, delving into puppetry, playwriting, painting, sculpture, and teaching art. Each of these creative pursuits enriches the others, shaping my distinctive artistic approach.

​

I firmly believe in the transformative power of storytelling to inspire and effect change. Whether it's creating illustrations for children's books, posters, or other mediums, I'm deeply passionate about weaving narratives through visual storytelling. This website serves as an invitation to you and a testament to my dedication to storytelling and meticulous attention to detail, allowing me to breathe life into narratives through my artwork.

​

Our children need stories that will inspire them to claim and value their authentic self! Together, we can ignite imagination, inspire curiosity, and instill a sense of wonder in the hearts and minds of our audience. Scroll down to see samples of artwork from various projects.
