I don't want to rain on your parade, but it's definitely feeling a bit *Autumnal* out there today.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by all-but-forgotten (but brilliant) Gordon Laite for "The Blue Book of Fairy Tales" (1959). No author listed. Here's a dramatic scene from "Rapunzel", in which a pipe-smoking (queer?) witch snatches at the prince, as he flees from the tower window!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by yours truly, to end my week of LGBTQ illustrators for #PrideMonth. This is from "Ella Bella Ballerina & A Midsummer Night's Dream" (2015) - Titania sleeps, Bottom is enraptured, and Mendelssohn's fairies fills the air with a lulla, lulla lullaby...

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay continues my #Pride look at LGBTQ illustrators. Today it’s Arnold Lobel. A troubled man who, like me, married and only came out late in life, he is one of my absolute illustration heroes. Here’s “Days with Frog & Toad” (1979) ~Tender, touching and true.

This painting was created live at the launch event for #NenAndTheLonelyFisherman. It's now up for grabs on ebay, to raise money for @MicroRainbow who help LGBTQ refugees. It's unique & autographed, and for such a good cause. Bid here: https://t.co/zlnhliT1GI

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Maurice Sendak. As it’s #PrideMonth I’ll share some favourite LGBTQ illustrators this week. This is from “Lullabys and Night Songs” (Wilder/Engvick, 1965). Here’s Bobby Shaftoe’s sweetheart. But the dog (Sendak’s own Jennie) steals the show!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by @MegfaceMcLaren for "Peep" which was published YESTERDAY! Huge welcome to this adorable new book about a shy dog called Dot & her favourite toy. If you don't know Meg's work, look her up. A brilliant picture-book maker. Congrats Meg!

@RealOmarNavarro Oh, well you're going to LOVE this new version of The Little Mermaid, by @MrEagletonIan, and illustrated - proudly - by ME!

@ElliottBlackwe3 @Bridgeanne Was it - The Big Clean Up by Harvey Weiss?

or The Story of Ferdinand by Leaf/Lawson?

or was it Comet in Moominland by Tove Jansson.

I can't be sure. But that trio of books has always stayed with me.
