Illustrations full of character, life, the beauty of the natural world, anthropomorphic animals, the mystery of libraries, ethereal magic & dreamy landscapes.

Doodling nearby house and the sunny day. Recently went through a lot and emerged in less humidity. Hurrah.

Cover of Caldicot Medal winning kid's book " Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears" told by author Verna Aardema and illustrations by artist team Diane & Leo Dillon. Shows a colorful stylized painting of a blue Mosquitoe in the ear of an annoyed-looking African man wearing a brightly patterned. magenta hat

cover of the kids book Earth Mother, told by author Ellen Jackson and illustrated by artists Leo & Diane Dillon. The colorful painting shows a background of the head of an African woman with the sunset. She's smiling gently and her eye is looking towards the foreground figures of an insect, frog, tree, and man with a drum, who are all reaching up & out towards her. Are they acting in celebration? prayer? suplication? all the above?

Brilliant idea! Definitely #KidsBooksFriday needs to become a regular feature! So many to talk about.

#Illustrators are artists with the special challenge of using their art to help bring to life another person's art (the author's book). Matching visions is an incredible talent!

A bright pink postcard with a white border. The illustration is a small speck of land with tall grass, rocks, and very tall pine trees clustered in the middle of it. It is surrounded by water, with waves going up to the shore line and large clouds move by. It is based on a real location, in the pacific northwest.

I chalked it up to ignorance but commented letting them know their choice to use Ai is counterintuitive to the goals of earth month and contributing to a drain of natural resources.

#illustrators and #designers lets help call this stuff out so ignorance is no longer an excuse.

Two portrait format illustrations. They are taken from "What to look for in Spring", Ladybird Books 1961. Text by E.L.Grant Watson, all illustrations by Cheshire born Charkes F Tunnicliffe R.A (1901-1979).

Tunnicliffe's Spring
Two wonderful illustrations by Cheshire son Charles F Tunnicliffe R.A. From the Ladybird Book, "What to look for in Spring" published in 1961, they show his style very well. Featuring lambs, blossom, wood anemones, wood violets and a bank vole.

Does anyone have a rolling list of commission #artists / #illustrators that offer commercial rights to their works?

I don’t need prints YET, but I don’t want to scramble if/when the time comes.

Color illustration by Randolph Caldecott showing the dish and spoon running away in the foreground and dancing plates and vases and a cat playing a fiddle behind them. Text in the corner of the frame is "Randolph Caldecott March 22, 1846-Feb. 12, 1886."

Hey, diddle, diddle, it's the birthday of Randolph Caldecott, the creator of the modern picture book. #botd in 1846, Caldecott went to art school at night and clerked at a bank until his work began selling. His health was always fragile; he died at 39.
