I also work as a freelance rep for the Illustrators' Agency, Arena but just for six of the main UK children's book publishing clients.
Michael Scott covers by Fred Gambino
Fred Gambino worked with freelance designer, James Fraser, to produce new covers for a set of Nicholas Flamel novels by Michael Scott. They made a good team. The books are published by Random House Children's Books. More of Fred's illustration here. And more about James Fraser here.
Storyworld Exhibition opening
The launch of the Storyworld exhibition held at the Illustration Cupboard yesterday was a great success. Many of the artists involved with this enormous project were present, along with the publishers from Templar who commissioned the work, and of course art collectors who are regular clients at the gallery.

The above two illustrations were the Paul Hess images chosen for the show, and the rest are available from me. There is a collection of Paul's work for sale here.

I was also delighted to be involved with the illustrations by three of the Arena artists, Matilda Harrison, Philip Hood and Tomislav Tomic. Many of those originals are now available directly from Arena. It really is the most almighty of projects, and one which has been a delight.
Storyworld Exhibition, Paul Hess
Two of Paul Hess's original paintings for the Storyworld card game written by John and Caitlin Matthews will be included in the current exhibition at the Illustration Cupboard in London. The exhibition doubles as a launch for this innovative game, published by Templar, which has been so well-received by schools as well as the public.
Alien landscapes by Fred Gambino
Fred was asked by Templar Publishing to design some alien landscapes for the latest book in their "ology" series about Aliens.

Here you'll find volcanic landscapes, ice planets and swirling gas. Cities, jungles and deserts. Fred can conjure them all. Click on the image for a larger version. More of Fred's illustration here.
Gordon Crabb Literary Fiction
Gordon Crabb's new stock section is designed to appeal to designers looking for images for literary fiction covers. It's only fair that writers should visualise their characters? And how easy is it to please them when you're choosing a cover image?

By suggesting that they look at Gordon's stock section you can allow them to choose for themselves. And if the writer is dead then you can choose!

We've also added sections for Men and Children. More of those to come soon.
Jim Kay's illustrations for Storyworld
Jim Kay was commissioned by Mike Jolley at Templar Publishing to produce a set of seven cards for the Hallowe'en Pack for the Storyworld card game. Four are shown here, and more of Jim's illustration work can be seen here, and also on Jim's own site.

Two of the Storyworld images will be on show as giclee prints at the Illustration Cupboard gallery in London from August. Contact me if you're interested in prints of any of the other card images.

Jim's original drawings and etchings for other commissions are also available.
Road Buzz, produced by Saft and Boneless
There are some artists whose work does fit into the world of illustration but not because they slavishly follow the rules - more that their art is infectious. Neal Layton has a magic which pleases both publishers and children and you may have seen his books on The Story of Everything, his fiction about the Mammoth Academy, his non-fiction illustrations for Poo or his work for the Emily Brown books written by Cressida Cowell. His sense of humour and oddball characters are quite special.

Neal is married to the artist, Sadie Tierney. Already well known as a printmaker, she has now worked with Neal to produce the most exciting, inspiring and professional 80-minute film on the art of downhill skateboarding, luge and all sorts of abandon. It's called Road Buzz, it has some excellent music - and I recommend it highly.

"Without any braking system apart from shoes nailed and stuck with car tyre rubber they erupt from the valleys and mountain roads of the world. Sculptors whose material is gravity." "A tour of European mountains, interviewing some of the characters along the way to examine issues of trust, fear, obsession and motivation."

Visit the Saft and Boneless website for more information. Copies of the DVD can be bought from three sources. For only £10 you can see right into this incredibly brave and tightly-knit community.
