2026 Magical Almanac
Client: Llewellyn Worldwide ·
Sue Todd was commissioned to contribute 8 black and white illustrations to the 2026 Magical Almanac. It was a dream come true to be invited to participate in a project that she has admired for years. The client gave Sue free rein to interpret the text and she rendered the art in her new digital ink technique using Procreate on the iPad.

Sue Todd is a Toronto based illustrator living in two worlds, the analog and the digital. Sue has literally carved out a niche with her lino-cut technique which she then colors digitally, thus enjoying a variety of activities to fire her passion for problem solving with imagery. Among Sue’s influences are medieval woodcuts, the art of Jim Flora, and the woodcuts of Frans Masereel and Jose Francisco Borges. Sue’s colorful art has appeared in books, magazines, posters, t-shirts, a TV commercial and on a bus. Sue is exploring the world of graphic novels by writing and illustrating her own stories, presently works in progress. For relaxation, Sue paints oil portraits, both analog and digital.
