Madison Syring (Maddy) is a northwest Ohio raised artist. Although she tends to dabble in painting and ceramics, her main choice of visual arts is 3D Animation, specifically in Abstract Simulation. She can achieve her visuals from the use of Houdini FX software, which she then displays with music in Resolume software program. With her mix of abstract visuals and music, she creates an experience for the viewer to disassociate from their perceived reality and take in the art form as the way they see it existing.

I’ll let a recent client describe what it’s like to work with me: “I had just started a new business that required a very detailed and specific piece of artwork to be completed. I was worried that our comments and edits could be viewed as annoying or exasperating, as we had wanted to get this image just right, but Femi never shied away from our requests. He was attentive to our needs and his response time was outstanding. When I did not know how to proceed on a decision, Femi offered examples of different directions to take and helped guide us to a solution. I am overwhelmingly happy with what Femi created for us and would absolutely not hesitate to work with him again.” That’s the kind of working relationship I aim for with every client. I’m a professional illustrator focused on creating engaging, story-driven visuals that bring ideas to life. I work with clients across publishing, media, and creative industries, taking projects from concept all the way to final, publish-ready production. What I do: • Children’s book illustration • Picture books, activity books & coloring books • Editorial illustration • Character design • Concept art • Storyboarding • Book cover design • Digital illustration • KDP formatting & publishing support I’ve collaborated with clients internationally, combining strong storytelling, thoughtful composition, and close attention to detail to turn rough ideas into polished work. Just as importantly, I’m responsive, open to feedback, and committed to getting it right. If you’re looking for an illustrator who can bring your vision to life with creativity and clarity, I’d love to work with you.
