Illustrator · Collingwood, VIC
Go on, colour it in.
I’m Juno Marsh. I draw picture books, packaging and murals with thick black lines and bright flat colour. This page is my desk — pick a crayon and fill it in.
Tap a crayon, then tap any shape. Keyboard: Tab to a shape, Enter fills, 1–7 swap crayons, Z undoes.
Work, still wet
Three sample projects, left as line art so you can colour them too. The crayon tray works on every drawing on this page.
The Wombat Who Wouldn’t Nap
A 32-page bedtime story about a very awake wombat: twelve spreads of chunky line and flat colour, drawn to be read aloud (and slightly too loudly). Pencil roughs, final line art and colour, cover and end papers.
Morning Fig granola
Front-of-pack art for a fictional small-batch cereal maker: a hero fig, a patterned side panel and a bowl that doubles as a sticker for the farmers’ market stall.
Laneway sunrise
A café laneway wall in Collingwood, outlined in black first so neighbourhood kids could help fill it in on a Saturday paint day. Designed, primed and sealed for outdoors.

How far ahead should I book?
Picture books: four to six months. Packaging and spot drawings: usually two to four weeks. Ask anyway if it’s urgent.
Who owns the artwork?
You get a licence for the agreed use — for example, packaging sold in Australia for three years. Copyright stays with the studio unless we agree on a buy-out.
Do you paint murals outside Melbourne?
Yes, around Victoria and interstate. Travel and accommodation are quoted separately.
