#SixForSunday – 10th March – Favourite Illustrator

This Sunday tag is created and run by Steph over at A Little But A Lot. There are some very interesting and fun prompts coming up this spring so check it out. Today s topic is Favourite Illustrator.

I love illustrated books and I have my absolute favourites both for my childhood and present time.

Anyway, let’s dive into the list of my 6 favourite illustrator in no particular order.

Jim Kay

How doesn’t like the Harry Potter illustrated editions? All illustrations are done by Jim Kay and I loved these. He also did “A Monster Calls” which I also love.

Quentin Blake

We all know Quentin Blake’s illustrations of Roald Dahl’s famous stories. I grew up to these and love them to bits.

Tove Janson

Again this is something I grew up with and it’s the Moomins.

A. A. Milne

Who doesn’t love Winnie The Pooh? He is so cute and as an adult, I find he has some seriously deep issues to talk about.

Elsa Beskow

I grew up with these illustrations and was surrounded by book illustrated by Elsa Beskow, but until recently I never knew what her name was. Now I do. I really want to collect these books because I love the illustrations and all the memories. I think The Flowers’ Festival was my favourite book illustrated by her.

Yoshi Yoshitani

I know this illustrator from the Monstress graphic novels which I loved. My favourite part of the graphic novel was the art work and I definitely are going to keep buying and reading this series.
