Meet our illustrator, Pedro De La Cruz
Our guidebooks come to life with original illustrations by Santa Barbara artist Pedro De La Cruz—colorful, playful, and full of feeling. Pedro’s work is rooted in the joy he felt opening his first box of crayons as a child; sketchbooks became his sanctuary, a place to process emotion and escape through color. Guided by supportive teachers and sustained by years of dedication, Pedro has grown into the expressive, detail-driven artist he is today.
In 2026, Pedro was selected as the official artist of the Old Spanish Days Fiesta poster.
