We’re a tiny studio. Four friends. A young startup, we’ve just released a game called Joe Danger on PSN.

After receiving a few emails from illustrators and friends asking what kind of things I did to get my recent assignments I've decided to make a blog post on the subject. I still find it very useful to read how other illustrators promote themselves or what steps they took to go from unknown to getting their foot in the door, so just thought I'd add my own story here from start to finish. In the beginning I was terrible, and I knew it. I had been trained as a fine art painter and knew how to paint what was in front of me.

Painting from the imagination is a whole different ball game. So...I practiced---a lot! I went to the library constantly, checking out tons of books by my favorite illustrators for both inspiration and to learn from them. When I started sending my own stuff out, I got lots of rejections and only a couple notes saying they kept my work on file. Finally, my illustrations started to improve.

Beautiful Illustrations ‘It’s extraordinary – the quality and range of illustration that The Folio Society has commissioned’ – Quentin Blake. The illustrations are one of the chief pleasures of the books, and they are so varied that it is hard to give a true impression of their range. Every style of illustration imaginable, and every medium has been adopted, from wood-engravings, lino-cuts, etchings and collages to sketches, watercolours, pastels and gouache. How a book is illustrated depends absolutely upon its character; sometimes traditional methods of illustration are appropriate, at others a daring and original approach is needed. 1.
