Hi, I'm Leanne J. Krause, the owner. I've been working in graphic design since the early 80's, right before the Macintosh was introduced. I have a degree in English and Art, so I do a lot of the copywriting and editing, too.
My favorite thing in this business is bringing my clients' dreams to life. Working with someone who's written a book, recorded some music, or developed a new product is most satisfying when they're holding their finished project in their hands, (or even better – when we see people buying it!). I stay available and connected with my clients from idea to print.*
Beasey Busterbear Krause lived from sometime in the early 1990s to May 1, 2008, when he crossed quickly and painlessly over the Rainbow Bridge. He was a most excellent office assistant and a great friend. I couldn't have taken over the business without him. You can go to the blog to read his story.
Here are some illustration projects I've done on my own. In case you were wondering what kind of person you would be dealing with.

Check out this great website about fathers who are no longer living, but continue to inspire others. I got an essay published in their recent book, Our Fathers Who Art in Heaven and What They Continue to Teach Us. They are looking for more stories, and have a great blog about Our Fathers Who Art In Heaven and another blog for Our Mothers Who Art In Heaven!
