Sorry to have missed all the recent news, I will have a look to see what has happened.
I think this may well be a win/win situation for my contact and those of you who are publishing their books. Through attending, and working as a volunteer, at the Ipswich Borough "Open All Areas Weekend" I developed a contact for doing artist modelling work; this lady also has a daughter who is a phenominal illustrator, the picture of her work of the illustration is shown.
Kate Sendall is training at NCS in Ipswich, and wants to get into doing illustrative work; as someone who has invested in one of her original pieces I can tell you that her work is so good you would swear that it was a print - but you know that they are drawn by hand; this young lady needs to be supported in getting going in her career, so if you are wanting to publish and want an illustrator to work on your book I am sure that if you contact her (through me Stephen.tuthill@talktalk.net) that she will be happy to do the work for you.
She will want paying, but the illustration I purchased only cost me £20, so I am sure that she would be happy to come to some agreement with you as regards the cost for her work and time. See you soon,
Stephen.
