As a child I was mad about ‘My Naughty Little sister’. Shirley Hughes’ illustrations were a huge influence on my wanting to be an artist when I grew up.Only today I spotted this illustration and realised just how much her work subliminally influenced me. What a legacy she leaves.

Not gonna lie, Shirley freaked me out in Azure. I always feel so bad for the fucked up kids of Trails.

Ignoring the groping stuff, Shirley really grew on me. She's got a sick weapon, and I love that she became an enforcer. I'd love to see more of her and Randy interacting.

I still have my original paperback copy of which cost 25p. It was one of my favourite childhood books - she's still one of my favourite fictional characters brought to life through wonderful illustrations.

Shirley Hughes taught me that heaven is in the everyday light of ordinary moments like these. That is where she will forever be, for me and for every child who enters her pages.

I had the surprise pleasure of walking with back to the tube after a publishing event a few years ago; I was inwardly beside myself with delight. We chatted about illustration and bid each other a cheery goodnight.
A lifetime of lovely memories and influence.
