Niroot Puttapipat’s amazing illustrations for Templar’s Pictura Books

Templar have come up with this brilliant idea to create a set of intricate and high end colouring books. The imprint, ‘Pictura’ is a series of  “Art to collect and colour”. Our very own Niroot Puttapipat was one of the fantastic illustrators asked to take part in this exciting project. Niroot created a wonderful world of ‘Faeries’, designed to be enjoyed and coloured in any way the collector desires. Have a look at this great example of how you can colour in Niroot’s wonderful illustrations and just a glimpse of what is possible to do with these Pictura books here.

Just Published: Pam Ayres’ You Made Me Late Again! Illustrated by Susan Hellard

Pam Ayres has a wonderful new collection of poems and anecdotes published this month by Ebury Press. You Made Me Late Again! is the third collection of her poems that Susan Hellard has had the pleasure in illustrating. This really is a lovely partnership, Sue's pen & ink drawings set the tone beautifully and are a perfect foil for Pam's witty observations of life.
