plum pudding talk
Applying for work experience at agencies etc
Working on the other side, working with illustrators
Kept asking for more work until got a per men’s title job
People send in work
Find artists through Instagram
Find illustrators work through Instagram
Attend book fairs
Work closely with illustrators
Look for animal characters
Full colour spreads and spot illustrations
Don’t want illustrators style to crossover within agency
Maintain own online presence even if you have agent
The do weekly mail out of illustrators work
Send art to specific clients that work would suit
About a third of their illustrators also write
Work with them to develop ideas
Publisher usually act as middleman between author and illustrator
If they see potential for animation they will include a clause in the contract saying the artist maintains animation rights
They help with contracts
Publishers often want to keep the rights
Digital is not a huge market with children’s books
Usually put illustrators work straight in front of publishers
If they feel development is needed, or portfolio needs certain things they will help
If the need to fill out certain aspects, character, covers, full spreads
Would be beneficial to do an internship at an agency or publisher
Animals
Children characters
Vignettes
Full spreads
Development sketches
Character studies happy,sad, running, eating
Show variety sketches and finished pieces
