Hi!
Here are some testimonials from clients who have worked with me.
- Working with Felipe Calv as the illustrator for Sydney’s Special Voice was an absolute joy from start to finish. From our very first interaction, Felipe was incredibly attentive to my ideas and vision for the book. He took the time to truly understand what I wanted and brought every detail to life with care and creativity. I’ll admit, I was very excited (and a little impatient!) throughout the process, but Felipe met every request with patience, kindness, and professionalism. His calm and understanding nature made it easy to communicate and collaborate, even when I asked for small changes or had new ideas along the way. Felipe is not only easy to talk to and work with, but he is also an extraordinarily talented illustrator. The way he captured the heart of the story and translated it into stunning visuals exceeded all my expectations. I truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better to illustrate my beautiful book.
Kelly Nixon - Sydney's Special Voice
- Working with Felipe has been an absolute dream! I’m completely blown away by his talent, professionalism, and incredible attention to detail. His creativity knows no bounds, and thanks to him, my story has taken on a whole new dimension. The illustrations perfectly capture my vision, and the charming little details he adds make the book even more fun.
Every aspect of this collaboration has been fantastic — stunning artwork, seamless communication, and regular updates. Felipe keeps me informed at every stage, making it easy to plan ahead. His responsiveness and professionalism make him an absolute joy to work with.
And the illustrations? Simply phenomenal — from character design to storytelling flow. The colors, expressions, and compositions are top-tier, bringing the story to life in the most beautiful way.
Felipe is truly outstanding, and I’m beyond thrilled that we’re already working on another book together. I sincerely hope this is just the beginning of many more projects to come!”
Natália Mantur - Squabbling Sausages
- I have worked with Felipe for over two years and over multiple projects. He is a great partner in publishing. He has done an unbelievable job brining all my ideas and characters to life. He pays great attention to detail making each page a memorable illustration for my young audience!
David Flores - Pre-K Fight Club
- Felipe is the illustrator of a series of children’s stories I wrote about four bear siblings and their adventures.
It was easy to work with him. His ideas were great, and he was always willing to ‘tweak them’ to make the illustrations just how I wanted them to be. I am delighted to have the words I wrote now come to life forever in Felipe’s wonderful illustrations!
Thank you, Felipe, for helping me achieve an ambition!
Lynne Finnie - Four Bear Series
- Felipe has now worked on 2 of my books, fingers crossed he’ll continue to work with me for more. Not only are his illustrations beautiful he has a great eye for detail. Felipe is easy to work alongside and is happy to open and explain his thought processes of how he has drawn something to help make the written story standout. Open dialogue has been crucial, and I take his experience on guidance on board. Being on the other side of the world to me hasn’t been an issue, happily responding to messages about work or even a chit chat. His support extends beyond just artwork; actively supporting posts on social media. He is an all-round good guy and total pleasure to work with.

- Working with Felipe on my daughter’s book was so rewarding. She is a young author and Felipe’s patience and dedication in bringing her characters to life really made the creative process smooth and effective. The results speak for themselves - the beautiful illustrations and colours in the book are a perfect pairing for the story and we could not be more grateful for Felipe’s creativity and talent.

The care, expertise, creativity and the personal connection with such a talented artist is an experience i won't forget. I cannot speak more highly on the colour and depth along with the 'journey' each illustration takes you on"
Sian Phillips - Noah and Santa's Special Key
Being new to this process, I was unsure of what to expect, but Felipe made it seamless and enjoyable. He guided me through every step, truly taking the time to understand my vision. Not only did he bring it to life, but his creative and artistic flair elevated everything beyond my expectations. The results were amazing! I would be thrilled to collaborate with Felipe again on future projects.
