Charles Santoso loves drawing little things in his little journal and dreaming about funny, wondrous stories. He gathers inspiration from his childhood memories and curiosities he discovers in his everyday travels.

He has illustrated several picture books, including The Snurtch and I don’t Like Koala – both written by Sean Ferrell, Ida, Always – written By Caron Levis, which was mentioned in the New York Times as “an example of children’s books at their best”,  Peanut Butter & Brains – written by Joe McGee and Penguin & Tiny Shrimp Don’t Do Bedtime – written by Cate Berry. Also a New York Times bestseller Wishtree by Katherine Applegate and A Boy Called Bat by Elana K Arnold.

He worked at Animal Logic as a concept artist/art director and was involved in various animated feature film and tv commercial projects.

Charles Santoso’s work has been exhibited in Sydney and also internationally in North America and France.

Clients include: Simon & Schuster, Scholastic, Harper Collins, Abrams, Penguin Random House, Disney Hyperion, Bloomsbury, Little Brown, MacMillan, Coca Cola, Nike, Auspost, Chorion, Warner Bros, Kinokuniya bookstore, Sydney Opera House.
