#BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday2 @mrjamesmayhew "Who do you love ?" by Camilla Ashforth .I love all of her books.

Little bit of Orlando by Kathleen Hale for #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday2 https://t.co/tqWV6PPlUA
Love some creepy/scary/macabre book art, too! Here's @crispriestley, @emilyterrible, @GR_comics and @Nimue_B & @GothicalTomB to keep you up at night! #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday2
A quartet of Quentin Blake illustrations of the appallingly-behaved Badfort crowd from JP Martin's Uncle books. I found these pictures fabulously funny and anarchic when I was seven, and I still do.

It's #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday! A wonderful place to see picture book art run by @mrjamesmayhew.
In celebration, here is a favourite of mine- 'My cat likes to hide in boxes' by Eve Sutton, illustrated with charm and character by Lynley Dodd.
🐱📦
Lizbeth Zwerger is my third my great illustration hero.
Her exceptional drawing skill combined with a light touch in her use of watercolour to produce magical art like this from "The Swineherd” by HC Andersen. @lizbethzwerger @mrjamesmayhew #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday2
A few pics to mark #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday2, all rich in the sort of detail that fired my young imagination, from: Ant and Bee Go Shopping (Angela Banner); The Saga of Noggin the Nog (Peter Firmin); The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm (W Heath Robinson).
And finally the FIRST book I ever remember from childhood. The immortal ‘Winnie The Pooh’ by A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepherd. And please indulge me with my favourite illustration from my own, unpublished as yet, book ‘Peedie Pointy Dog’ 😉😁#BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday2
Then the books that made me cry.. there’s a breathtaking moment in Shaun Tan’s ‘Eric’ that was one of the most beautiful pages I’ve ever seen.. #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday2

Another fave illustrator of mine is Janet Ahlberg.
