Meet the Artists.
I am incredibly grateful for (and in awe of) the collaborations and the beautiful works from the artists who helped bring these parenthood stories to life. Meet them below, and please support their work!

“Feverish Child owner, Gloria Day is an Atlanta-based illustrator who celebrates the inner child and individuality through comic and cartoon-styled artwork. She expresses her perspective mainly through illustration, both digital and hand drawn.
Though inspired by identity, childhood, escapism, and self-discovery, her focus is to use visual art to bring awareness to children’s social/emotional and mental health. Gloria is also a professional writer and a storyteller at heart. She has published two children's books: "Eighteen People Changed the World" and "Phoebe the Photographer" and also created Honesty Cards for Kids: Questions and Prompts for Healthy Expression.”

Ella Byworth
Ella is an English-Australian Graphic Designer and Illustrator..
She is passionate about Illustration, Design and Photography and the influence that they can have on the world. In her work she tries to make people question what is normal and aims to represent people from all walks of life.
She is inspired by the people she meets and their reactions to situations. Her love of colours and patterns stem from things she has seen while travelling.
She hopes to challenge certain stigma and open up conversation around mental health and lifestyle choices with her Illustrations. It would be nice to think that in some way people can relate to what is pictured.
Ella's ultimate goal is to be able to use her skills to help people talk, escape, express, create. She believes that creativity is good for the soul.
Cbabi Bayoc
Cbabi (pronounced Kuh-bob-bi) Bayoc is an internationally-known visual artist and illustrator residing in St. Louis, Missouri. His subjects include family, children, music and a bunch of other cool stuff designed with line, bold color and phunk!
Bayoc, whose birth name is Clifford Miskell, Jr., adopted his name CBABI (Creative-Black-Artist-Battling- Ignorance) during his time at Grambling State University (‘92-‘95). In 1997, a legal name change took place at the time of his marriage. Later, Cbabi would change his last name to BAYOC (Blesed-African-Youth-Of-Creativity) as something that could be shared with his future children.
After working as a caricature artist at Six Flags over St. Louis, Cbabi pursued a career as an illustrator. His first notable client was Rap Pages magazine. During the entire year of 1998 he was given the RPM section on a monthly basis to display a caricature of the featured artist. Through that exposure, he was contacted by Violator Management to create the artwork for the cover of the Violator Compilation, Vol.1 album, featuring the likenesses of Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott, Foxy Brown, Q-Tip, LL Cool J, Mobb Deep, Fat Joe and Big Pun.
