The new edition of New Fairy Tales, www.newfairytales.co.uk is out now. My work is featured in it illustrating A Most Ordinary Boy. Its exciting to see my work in print.
Currently working on a dummy for Ivy-Beatrice and the Field of Poppies. I'll add some roughs on here soon.
I am an artist/aspiring Illustrator with a love of children's books. I graduated from Norwich School of Art and Design in 2001, and have been working, looking after my large family, selling work and gradually building on my port folio, specifically in children's book illustration since then. I have recently started writing, and I'm currently working on three stories for children. I am a member of the SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators) Which has been very useful and a great way to tap into like-minded people. Inspiration comes from illustrators such as Lisbeth Zwerger, Georg Hallensleben, Sara Fanelli, Marc Boutevant, Alexis Deacon, Shaun Tan,Oyvind Torseter for their quirky approach to kids book illustration and inspirational composition; and also Laura Knight, Vincent Van Gogh, Gwen John, Picasso and many, many more.
Ooo can't wait to see the roughs, I wish there was twice as many hours in the day sometimes, then I could get twice as much done! x
ReplyDeleteYes, more time would be great, and being a little less tired too!! x
