Tomislav Tomic

Tomislav lives with his family in Croatia. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Art in Zagreb. His love of picture books began early, with work already published during high school, and has continued to shape a distinguished career.

Tomislav’s signature style - exquisitely detailed pen-and-ink illustrations inspired by Renaissance engraving, brings tales of magic, fantasy, and folklore vividly to life. His work is highly narrative, making it equally appealing to children and adults, and can be seen in the bestselling Wizardology series, the Harry Potter Wizarding Almanac, Trick of the Tale, and The Folio Society’s Orange Fairy Book.

Beyond children’s publishing, Tomislav’s versatility has made him a sought-after illustrator for adult book covers, including the fantasy title The Tainted Khan, as well as illustrative maps and advertising campaigns, demonstrating his ability to adapt his intricate, story-driven style across a wide range of projects. He seamlessly combines craftsmanship, imagination, and narrative depth, making every piece richly layered and visually compelling.

Tomislav continues to explore the boundaries of illustration, creating work that captivates audiences across age groups and genres, and remains a distinctive voice in contemporary fantasy and narrative art.
