Check out one of our newest artists, Anke Rega!

I fell in love with Anke’s work while she was a student in my Make Art That Sells courses, but it was her work for our Global Talent Search 2018 that blew my mind. Her “Big Love at First Ferry Sight” (below) had everything I want to see: well-drawn cool characters, a distinctive color palette, wit, and quirkiness.

Anke is one of our newest artists, hailing from Berlin. She’s perfect for magazine illustration, picture books, graphic novels, portrait work, maps, home decor projects and things I haven’t even thought of.

“I like seeing all the little big things in life. They make me smile and open my heart. And that‘s exactly the feeling I want to give back to the world with my art.” –Anke Rega

Check out one of our newest artists, Åsa Gilland!

Åsa Gilland hails from Sweden but has lived in Indonesia for many years. I was delighted when she entered our Global Talent Search, and was one of the winners! I had had my eye on her for some time in my Make Art That Sells courses, and now I can proudly say that she is one of our newest represented artists.

With her delightful wit, fresh style, and ability to create wacky characters, I believe that she will be a big name in the children’s picture book market. Enjoy the show! See more of her work here. She’s booking quickly, as you might expect.

Asa writes: I’m rather obsessed about old photographs of people. This was inspired by a photo of a Lombok nobleman and his son from 1920, possibly of Balinese origin considering they were photographed with a dog. I love that the boy is wearing European-style suspenders under his embroidered short pants.

Asa writes: My dad was a mapmaker who’d spend summers outdoors detailing aerial photos. I’d pass time in the car, drawing creatures and folks entangled in perplexing drama. I’m still pretty good at drawing in a moving car.

Here’s a peek at our artists’ work for my Illustrating Children’s Book course

In our Illustrating Children’s Books course, Art Director Zoë Tucker and I teach that a compelling character, combined with a variety of emotions and active poses, is key to a winning children’s book.

I am delighted to show you work by my represented artists from Weeks 1 and 2 from class.

First up: Åsa Gilland is knocking it out of the park with these appealing characters. Check out the frog in an astronaut costume and the mother and child together.

Åsa Gilland

Young children may not always understand the text, as they are relatively new to language, but they can easily ‘read’ and understand body language. That’s why it’s so key for an illustrator to show that they are capable of drawing poses and emotions.

Jennifer Potter has a brilliant way with light like no other student I’ve ever had in class. She illustrates warmth both literally and figuratively.

Julia Christians is booked heavily with children’s book illustration work and you can see why. She even brought Buzzy the Pillow to life beautifully, from my text Find Fuchsia Food Fast.*

Sarah Papworth makes the most charming little gnome! Her color sense and style are gorgeous.

Kendra Binney is known for her gorgeous paintings, but I’m thrilled with the work she’s now doing in the children’s book realm. Magical!

Stay tuned for more great work coming out of this course.

Want to see some of the books my artists have illustrated? Check them out here.

*PICTURE BOOK EDITORS: I had a great time writing one of the texts for the class called Find Fuchsia Food Fast. It’s about Buzzy the Pillow’s search for pink foods for her friend. If you are interested in seeing it, I’d love to show you! Just let me know.
