Charlie Sutcliffe

Charlie Sutcliffe (Artist Partners Ltd, illustrator)

 

Charlie Sutcliffe is without doubt a brilliant artist, and always creating the most amazingly original and imaginative characters.

His work is such a great fit for children books, for painting of murals inside and out , and merchandise -  there are no bounds actually.

Charlie lives in Valencia and there always seems to be a wonderful light and vibrancy about his artwork.

Here is such an example entitled: “Anchors Away” and pretty much a perfect image for this time of year.

For more of Charlies fabulous characters and artwork do check him out on the Artist Partners website: Charlie Sutcliffe | Illustrator | Artist Partners

Agnès Ernoult/Roi Kipu (Illustration Ltd, illustrator, publishing)

Agnès Ernoult's recently published children's book has made it to the top 40 on the independent book-sellers list in France. 'Roi Kipu', which translates to 'King Smelly', is a book published by Editions Margot and written by Bernard Villiot.

Agnès Ernoult/Roi Kipu (Illustration Ltd, illustrator, publishing)

The book follows the story of a King with a ridiculous name who actually doesn't smell bad at all, but because of his name, he struggles to find a partner to marry.

It's a heartwarming story about self-acceptance, tolerance, and the importance of laughing at oneself, with Agnès' humorous and characterful drawings connecting the reader with the King's journey.
