Hello, my name is Gabriel Evans and I’m a Australian children’s book author and illustrator.
With a coffee in hand, I spend my day making heartfelt and humorous picture books in pencil, ink and watercolour.
Welcome and enjoy browsing my books, illustrations and sketches – ideally with your own coffee in hand.

A wise and beautiful picture book that explores with gentle warmth and humour the nature of feelings and the importance of being heard.
“Evans’ watercolor and colored pencil illustrations shine… scenes have an appealing retro charm reminiscent of early Olivia books.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Gabriel Evans is fast becoming one of the most consistently delightful Australian picture book creators of recent years.”
