February's issue of Creative Review is an Illustration Special!

Covering topics such as the state of the industry, how illustrators can develop their career and what agents look for in new talent, the pages also show work from Judith Van Den Hoek, Jacqueline Bissett and Chrissy Lau.  Chris Gilleard & Nuno DaCosta are also mentioned in the feature.

Mt First Kafka is One of the Best

'My First Kafka' illustrated by Rohan Daniel Eason makes one of the thirteen 'Best Children’s, Illustrated, and Picture Books of 2013'.
Selected by journalist and writer Maria Popover of Brain Pickings, the book is Matthue Roth's adaptation of Kafka for kids. Rohan gets much praise for his work too, Maria writes " Indeed, it’s hard not to see Sendak’s fatherly echo in Eason’s beautifully haunting black-and-white drawings." Read more on the book here.

Ben's Freelancing Adventures

An Illustration career can be a tough one, and generally those that do it are the ones that love it. But as Ben Tallon's latest preoccupation shows, there are times when it can drive you mad!
Ben's new blog is a very frank chronicling of his freelancing adventures both good and bad. And one of his latest posts; 'Getting Out of Bed' is being published full page in Creative Review on 22nd September, all about inspiration and motivation for designers. Ben says: "People are really relating to it (and) I'm talking to several magazines about a possible serializing of it. When it's done I'll be seeing publishers." Whether a freelance Illustrator or a commissioning client, 'On The Edge: A Freelancer in Recession" is a great read.
