eir Is it fair that a national company expects artists to enter a competition where the prize is solely to display their work across the country, essentially for free? #picturesmeanbusiness #paytheartist The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon Illustrators Ireland openeir.ie/open-eir-cabin…
It is very important with books written and illustrated in partnership to credit both creative people equally.
IF you don't have room, use intelligence.
Macfarlane Morris doesn't take up any more room.
Thank you x

Here in real life, in all its technicolour glory, the amazing work of illustrator @karlj_mountford with design by nick stearn and huge thanks from me to the team @PiccadillyPress #PotkinandStubbs book 2 #TheHauntingofPeliganCity Out on 5th September 2019! #picturesmeanbusiness
In great picturebooks the illustrator is as much the author as the writer.
Both deserve the credit.
Don’t forget the illustrator #PicturesMeanBusiness

Today I watched a lovely video of a picture book I illustrated being read out online. The author was credited but absolutely no mention of the illustrator. Despite asking kids which their favourite illo was and asking them to draw their own versions. 😩 #PicturesMeanBusiness
I just wanted to share with you some of Pam Smy's stunning illustrations from THE MERMAID IN THE MILLPOND - gothic and atmospheric, yet brimming with life and emotion. I feel so privileged to have worked with Pam on this book. #picturesmeanbusiness
The start of our illustrator/author gallery wall - this has been in planning for a while - so excited to be nearly there!!! Chris Mould #picturesmeanbusiness More photos coming!
Very happy to finally be in possession of this lovely thing. It's for my illustration contribution to the amazing LONG WAY DOWN by Jason Reynolds News Faber Children's LAW Agency Thanks to UKLA for including me, as illustrator, in the award #PicturesMeanBusiness
Sharing an #illustration from last year, The Lighthouse Keeper from #Thebluesaltroad written by fab Joanne Harris. It’s actually a drawing of my Dad who loved the sea and fishing! #art #Pencildrawing #picturesmeanbusiness
I’d like to give a very special SHOUT OUT to Selom Sunu 🇬🇭🇬🇧, the incredibly talented illustrator of #TheChristmasCarrolls .
This was the first time he created 30+ illustrations for a book & every single one is perfection.

Herein lies the problem - lots of 'children's book chat' - but the emphasis is always on writers and *writing*. The books in this image are brimming with illustration.
Why are illustrators invisible?
