My name is Daniel M. Davis, and I’m the illustrator and co-author of “KlawBerry: Good girl. Bad world.” This mini-site is a focused way to help you learn all about little KlawBerry, so away we go.

What is KlawBerry?:

KlawBerry (the book) is a modern folktale. The story is inspired by all kinds of ancient mythology, Grimm Brothers fairytales, and folk stories from Africa, Europe, and India, all mashed together like a spicy red curry. It’s about a monster girl who finds strength and power in herself, as she makes a odd journey. Grrlpower, literally.

The artwork is a mashup of Kawaii goodness, Saturday morning cartoons, and happy mascots from Japanese and American candy wrappers, ran through a goth filter. I took added inpiration from Art Nouveau, toy design, and classic illustrated books. I wanted KlawBerry to look both fresh and modern, but as if you found it in a very old book.
