by Meriel Thurstan
This new book has been written by Meriel Thurstan and is due to come out in the late summer of 2012. The publisher is Batsford. I love botanical illustration books so why I am posting this one in particular? Well, I understand that some of my work will be included this one! I am very pleased. Meriel was kind enough to ask if I had anything that could be used and so I sent over a disc of my work for her to look at. I have just found out that three of my pieces have been chosen for it. I wish I could see some proofs - me being pernickety I worry about the overall quality of the print as they are using my dodgy photographs, but all of Meriel's other books are so beautifully done I really ought not to worry. I am sure it will be another excellent book, even if I do say so myself!
Of course you should be published! The first of many Jess. Such good news - congratulations also on your Diploma with Credit on the SBA Distance Course. A huge achievement considering your start to the course with a broken finger, working full time, many travels and other commitments and managing to complete in time with such limitations.
ReplyDeleteWhile the marks are important, more importantly is the ability to have your work seen, network and promote and get to know those in the industry you are interested in.
Well done, so proud - can't wait to give you a big hug in person.
