THE ONE SECRET THE PROVENSENS KEPT

Illustration Art

I am a big fan of the work of children's book illustrators Martin and Alice Provensen. I especially love their beautifully designed books, The Iliad and The Odyssey and Myths and Legends. It's difficult to imagine how a creative team could have been any closer than the Provensens. The two came from very similar backgrounds: both born in Chicago, Martin and Alice each moved to California when they were twelve.

What Katy Did cover illustration for Egmont

Emmeline Illustration

Back in November I was asked to illustrate the cover of Egmont's new Heritage edition of What Katy Did. It was one of those dream commissions which just flows so easily from sketch, to approval, to final artwork. It was a real joy to work on, and I'm so pleased with how it's turned out. I focused on the iconic swing scene from the book, so there's that instant communication of who and what the story's about.

New Norwegian Wood Prints

Emmeline Illustration

New in! These Norwegian Wood posters have just arrived in my online shop here. I illustrated this for the release of the film adaptation of Murakami's Norwegian Wood , and ended up as a finalist in the poster competition. Had a great little exhibition at the Curzon cinema (and I danced next to Tony Leung at the premiere party, what?!). This illustration has had a surge of re-popularity after being featured on the Murakami facebook page recently.
