Here’s a thing I wrote for BookTrust about ‘The Book That Made Me’ - The Land of Froud by Brian Froud.

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…

This week on Picture Book Den, I go finding out top tips for running an illustrator-shop, with LOTS of help from Sarah McIntyre, Dapo Adeola and Chris Mould - find it at picturebookden.blogspot.com/2021/11/down-a… #PicturesMeanBusiness
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

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!
Should probably save this for a working day but I was so cheered to read this from the Bookseller Buyer’s Guide - pictures books getting a deserved moment in the sun at last. And shout out to Sarah McIntyre, #PicturesMeanBusiness 😘
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
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
In case you're wondering the amazing artwork for #Lightningchasemehome is done by the super talented Kate Forrester #picturesmeanbusiness
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?
#picturesmeanbusiness
In great picturebooks the illustrator is as much the author as the writer.
Both deserve the credit.
Don’t forget the illustrator #PicturesMeanBusiness
