WELCOME!
Hi everyone — I’m Floyd, a Children’s Book Illustrator for 17 years and counting, with a 20‑year body of work that also includes concept art and animation background illustrator for an international studio.
​
Art has always been my passion and purpose — my IKIGAI. All my illustrations were created long before AI prompts, and I still work traditionally unless a client specifically requests.
I’m grateful to be a trusted partner in compelling visual storytelling and considered as one of the world’s best indie publishing illustrators. I’m versatile across styles — cartoon, juvenile, realistic, stylized — and across mediums from digital to watercolor, acrylic, and oil.
​
If we collaborate, you’ll receive not just my skills and experience, but a piece of my heart and soul in every artwork we create together.
​
Let’s bring your story to life!
Strength in Numbers
Audience Review
"The illustrations by Floyd Ryan Yamyamin are vibrant and reminiscent of traditional film animation. The artist's renditions of anthropomorphised animals and boats are infused with real sense of movement and vitality. Yamyamin's skills are apparent in the way characters such as the very hungry whale and the lost sea turtle are given instantly recognizable personalities during the brief appearances in the book and the way that the human character's own emotions leap from the page."
