Jada Fitch, originally from Sebago Maine, graduated from the Maine College of Art with a bachelors degree in illustration in 2006 at the age of 22. Her work is very adaptable, and can easily be applied to book illustration, children’s illustration, magazine and editorial illustration, advertising, poster and album design, greeting cards, t shirt design, logo, as well as fine art. She works mainly in pen & ink, coloring mostly in Photoshop, and occasionally watercolor. Themes that she most enjoys drawing are sci fi/ fantasy based, or nature/ animal themed.
Jada enjoys researching subject matter before starting a piece and spends a lot of time watching nature shows. She moved to the Los Angeles area in 2006 in search of more illustration opportunities, but decided that Maine suits her better is now living back in Portland.

The Charity Calendar
Much like the advent calendars in many European countries, the American Charity Calendar is an exquisite piece of artwork (13” x 16”) displaying twenty-five small perforated “windows”, labeled with each day’s date, starting with December 1st and ending on the 25th.
Behind each of the hidden “windows”, is an illustration that relates to each day’s corresponding online fictitious Winter Holiday Fairytale.
The 2010 Holiday fictional story written by 25 writers in the style of "relay" writing.
Each year we have a brand new Holiday story to match our Charity Calendar. We invite different writers to come up with a story in the relay-writing style; The first writer starts the story and passes it on to the next writer who then comes up with chapter 2 - and so forth. The exceptional combination of writer's voices will add magical spontaneity, and always has surprising twists and turns keeping the reader captivated each day.
The 1st chapter of the 2010 Holiday fictional story will be published online, the first day of December on and conclude on December 25. The theme of the story is "The Magic of the Winter Holidays" and the name of the story will be announced around December 1st, 2010.
