This has served him well as he has worked with publications such as: Dark Horse Comics, DC Comics, Scholastic, Little Brown, and many others! I remember seeing book covers he illustrated on shelves as a kid and being immediately drawn to them, so I find his art very nostalgic as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jonfoster.com\/uploads\/5\/3\/0\/8\/5308969\/5731906_orig.jpg\" alt=\"Image result for jon foster illustration\" \/><figcaption>Book Cover of Mistborn: The Final Empire<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/illustratorslounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/jon-foster-03.png\" alt=\"Image result for jon foster illustration\" \/><figcaption><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-other-cool-birds\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"iJl8lEqbAK\"><a href=\"http:\/\/othercoolbirds.com\/jon-foster-featured-artist\/\">Jon Foster &#8211; Featured Artist<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"http:\/\/othercoolbirds.com\/jon-foster-featured-artist\/embed\/#?secret=iJl8lEqbAK\" data-secret=\"iJl8lEqbAK\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Jon Foster &#8211; Featured Artist&#8221; &#8212; Other Cool Birds\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonfoster.com\/gallery.html\">https:\/\/www.jonfoster.com\/gallery.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jon Foster developed an interest in art at an early age, and was encouraged to continue to perfect his talent.
