John Shelley is new featured artist
We are proud to announce that John Shelley is our new featured artist.
Illustration from the Japanese edition of Jenny Nimmo's Charlie Bone. By John Shelley.Last year, John moved to England from more than 20 years living and working in Japan. He continues to serve as SCBWI Illustrator Coordinator of Japan.
His first major picture book the Secret in the Matchbox was shortlisted for the 1989 Mother Goose Award in the UK, and received a Parent's Choice Award in the US. Fascinated by Japanese art, Shelley moved to Tokyo in 1987 and quickly established himself in the commercial illustration market.
We are sorry to say goodbye to our featured artist of the last few months, Louise Grant also known as Fuzz. You can revisit her work at her website.
