Illustration Rooted in Craft. Designed to Make an Impact.

Great artwork starts with more than a good idea—it starts with curiosity, experimentation, and a deep understanding of how images connect with people.

At Rabies Babies, illustration is where fine art, design, and storytelling come together. Every project is approached with a balance of creativity and craftsmanship, drawing from years of experience creating artwork by hand, developing screen prints, and exploring traditional artistic techniques.

From bold poster illustrations and album artwork to custom graphics, packaging, and one-of-a-kind creative pieces, we help turn ideas into artwork that feels authentic, memorable, and built to last.

HOW IT WORKS

  • Every great project starts with a conversation. We’ll discuss your goals, ideas, inspiration, and intended use to establish the overall direction, style, and color palette for your project.

    Whether you’re creating a concert poster, custom illustration, or other artwork, we’ll work together to define the creative approach.

  • Once we understand your vision, we begin developing concepts through thumbnail sketches and exploratory artwork. This allows us to refine composition, style, and details before moving into the final design.

    After selecting a direction, we’ll create a more detailed illustration and continue refining the artwork based on your feedback with up to three rounds of revisions.

  • Once your design is complete, we prepare final files tailored to your project needs. Whether you need artwork for digital use, traditional printing, or custom screen printing, you'll receive professional, production-ready files.

    Need your design screen printed? We can help take your project from finished artwork to hand-pulled prints in our Denver studio.
