Walker Books' Search for Irish Artists

Walker Books launches search for new picture book talent in Dublin this month

The NCAD (National College of Art and Design), Ireland's most prestigious art college, will play host to leading Walker Books illustrator Bruce Ingman this month. The award-winning illustrator is best known for his modern classics with author Allan Ahlberg, The Runaway Dinner, Previously and The Pencil, which was published this Autumn.

From the 17th to the 21st November, Bruce will be conducting a week long project with the 3rd year Visual Communication students in NCAD. He will be joined on 21st November by Walker Books' Picture Book publisher Deirdre McDermott, herself a former student of the Visual Communication course at the college. Together they will offer one lucky student the opportunity of an internship at Walker next summer 2009. Along with Brendon Deacy, senior tutor at NCAD, Bruce and Deirdre will be looking for the most promising new book-making talent, be it in illustration, graphics or typography.

Niamh Sharkey & PJ Lynch Bookshop Visits

Brought Niamh Sharkey & PJ Lynch on a whirlwind Bookshop tour on Thursday 20th.

Helen Oxenbury

All over the world, babies are different. Yet in some ways they are very much the same: each one has ten little fingers and ten little toes – to play with, to tickle, to wave. And each child is very, very special to its parents… From Helen Oxenbury, best loved as the illustrator of the classic nursery join-in picture book We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes will fast become the essential book for baby playtime – and the perfect gift for a new arrival!

Published by Walker Books.

Pavel Tatarnikov

Barefoot Books have just published this ultimate book on King Arthur. Illustrations are by Pavel Tatarnikov from Belarus. His style is rich in texture and epic in composition. This edition has a cloth bound spine with brass-like text.
Pavel has also been published by Purple Bear Books in the USA but I think this is his first publication in the UK & Ireland.
