Researching this thread of the @PLR_UK Top 50 Illustrators borrowed from public libraries raised a lot of questions for me - I've written a follow-up blog post. Do share! https://t.co/DCN2I5nXHp

One thing about the Top 50 Most Borrowed Illustrators list is I don't know of them all, even some near the top. I'd love to see more illustrators as household names. Thinking I might work my way through it, so we can discover artists together #LibraryTop50 #PicturesMeanBusiness
EXACTLY, THIS! The PLR #LibraryTop50 list is wonderful, but it’s by no means a comprehensive list of the amazing things happening in children’s book illustration today, much less in the wider world of illustration.
There are SO many more fabulous illustrators to discover!⭐️⭐️⭐️
@jabberworks That's great. I couldn't see Shirley Hughes. Did I miss her or is she missing?
Thank you for joining me for the @PLR_UK #LibraryTop50 Children’s Book Illustrators!
And that’s only 50; if you want to find more, follow @mrjamesmayhew’s #BookIllustrationOfTheDay tag, where he introduces us to artists of history and today! ⭐️
This one features @AshlingLindsay
Yay, it’s finished now, all 50 illustrators listed with links! 🙂👍 #LibraryTop50 @PLR_UK

No.50 #LibraryTop50 @JezAlborough uses 3 words but conveys so much emotion in Hug, about a chimp who loses his mum.
Nothing stops Fix-It Duck! With page designs inspired by comic-book panel layouts, Jez colours his ink drawings in marker pens. 45+ books! https://t.co/bWv9RJGJpl
Today's #SundaySharingisCaring is Charles Surman’s extraordinary biographical card index of Congregational & other nonconformist ministers

No.49 #LibraryTop50 Eric Carle @carlemuseum is beloved creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, translated into 66+ languages, selling 50 million+ copies. He hand-paints paper, cuts out and layers it to achieve a jewel-bright effect, often featuring nature

No.48 #LibraryTop50 Sarah McIntyre (hey, that’s me!) loves how we *all* win when we credit illustrators for their work! Find out more at https://t.co/x7h39lhWfN, a website built by @sonispeight.

No.47 #LibraryTop50 @LaurenJBeard illustrates the pastel-palette Fairytale Hairdresser series. She uses traditional drawing materials, then colours her drawings with digital and scanned mixed media. She loves adding funny modern details to the stories

No.46 #LibraryTop50 Michael Foreman is a master of watercolours. 'I keep trying to make things more real, not in a literal, photographic sense, but in an emotional sense, telling a story by capturing the essence of the situation, giving it some meaning.'

No.45 #LibraryTop50 Rod Campbell got a doctorate in organic chemistry before he set up his own publishing house, eventually bought by Macmillan. His pages, often with flaps, are clear and simple for toddlers to decode, making room for them to chime in

No.44 #LibraryTop50 Judith Kerr (1923-2019) illustrated books up to the end (95 years!) and was a warm part of many of our childhoods. The kitchen in The Tiger Who Came to Tea was based on her own. She slightly regretted giving Mog so many stripes to paint
https://t.co/mBqthlrpvF
No.43 #LibraryTop50 Current @Booktrust Children’s Laureate @CressidaCowell illustrates many of her own books. I first knew her work through her picture books but many of you will know her How to Train Your Dragon books that sparked off the popular films 🐉
https://t.co/t20FgNcp4z
No.42 #LibraryTop50 Laura Ellen Anderson @Lillustrator stormed bookshelves with Amelia Fang of Nocturnia, ‘where darkness reigns supreme, glitter is terrifying, and unicorns are the stuff of nightmares!’ (Very sweet while spooky.)
Comics! Picture books!

Just to add to that, I really do love the way that @Alex_T_Smith draws a large variety of interesting older people in all shapes and sizes. (Not all children’s book illustrators are good at that) 💛 #LibraryTop50
No.41 #LibraryTop50 @Alex_T_Smith draws gorgeously fastidious characters and just-so interior spaces. Expert at clothing detail, expressions and creating a variety of old people, he’s branched out from his Claude books to the comic adventures of Mr Penguin https://t.co/c9PDDGGFUI

No.40 #LibraryTop50 @BraunSebastien writes & illustrates luminous books about Raj and his dad, and illustrates the Daddy Grizzle and Little Pip series with their lovely line work and colouring. He uses a mix of traditional & digital art, displayed here: https://t.co/2bKBiM3DFC
No.39 #LibraryTop50 @GuyParker_Rees paints loveable characters in warm, comfy settings. Animals are his favourite subject to draw, and his Giraffes Can’t Dance with Giles Andreae is a perennial favourite
https://t.co/jVJg3hSlNX
No.38 #LibraryTop50 @SimonRickerty’s books have a graphic, modern feel to them. He makes jokes and creates moods with typography and space on the page, and he finds clever ways to use small bits of photo collage. Monkey Nuts won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize
https://t.co/YYwZyLr0io
No.37 #LibraryTop50 Adrian Reynolds’s popular Harry books with Ian Whybrow now have over 20 in the series; children love him and his bucket full of dinosaurs https://t.co/WNimPG6jMj
