The SAA are very pleased to be supporting the World Illustration Awards by sponsoring The SAA Agents Award for New Talent.

Rob Ball

The Artworks are delighted to introduce our new illustrator Rob Ball! Rob has a brilliantly original style, combining clean graphic lines with his humorous take on the world. He has a unique ability to capture an individual’s personality and get this across through the clever way in which he designs each illustration with attention paid to every tiny detail. Take a look at his portfolio to see more of his work: http://www.theartworksinc.com/portfolio/rob-ball/

M&S Queen’s diamond jubilee tins!

Debbie Powell and Kate Forrester were asked by Marks and Spencer’s to illustrate these absolutely beautiful commemorative tins for the Queen’s diamond jubilee. They’re out now, but get in there quickly as Kate’s previous one for the Royal Wedding flew off the shelves and sold out in no time!

Jonny Duddle Nominated For Two Book Awards

Jonny Duddle's second picture book, The Pirates Next Door (Templar) has proved to be a such a hit that the hardback has almost sold out! This amazing book stars the Jolley-Rogers, a pirate family who move to Dull-on-Sea and cause no end of rumours amongst the locals.
We are delighted to announce that The Pirates Next Door has now been shortlisted for two book awards this year - the Waterstones Children's Books Prize and the Sheffield Children's Book Awards. The Waterstones Prize champions new and emerging talent in children's writing for picture books, children's fiction and teen fiction - the winners will be announced later this month.
The Sheffield Children's Book Award encourages children and young people to read and invites school children from over 222 schools to vote for their favourite books in five categories. Jonny's book has been selected along with 5 others in the picture book category - winners to be announced in November. Go Jonny, go!
