Right then! 🚨 To celebrate publication of my new book Household Lore on 11 November, I'm doing a special Folklore Agony household edition! Are you experiencing a problem in your house that conventional wisdom (and cleaning solutions) have failed to solve? Why not ask the Folklore Agony Aunt? 1/2
This is the cover of Household Lore by Liza Frank. It is a dark midnight sky full of stars. There is a three story purple house with trees growing either side and an owl on a turret. The garden is full of flowers and there is a crooked path to confuse fairies.

Happy birthday Gogmagog! This was such a fun cover to design; I still love that beautiful artwork by @ianmcque.bsky.social spanning both covers in the series ✨
simonguy.bsky.social Simon Spanton @simonguy.bsky.social · Feb 21
Gogmagog is now a year old.

Its heroine, river pilot Cady Meade, might be 78 years old, or she might be centuries old. But she's as foul-mouthed and cantankerous as ever. And her final blossoming and her final fight are coming.

Cover art @ianmcque.bsky.social, design @onecuriouschip.bsky.social.
Copies of the 2024 Angry Robot editions of Gogmagog and Ludluda. The linked cover art is over a riverside of ramshackle buildings and boats and barges. In the distance a river and on the far bank a cityscape. There is a hint of a vast, ghostly dragon in the sky.

A handwritten letter on my illustration work desk to my local MP, Mel Stride, asking him to help UK children's book illustrators keep our copyright during the current AI policy consultation ✍️

(Typed out in the alt text)
Dear Mr Stride, can you please help me and other UK children’s book illustrators? The governing is considering AI policy measures that would make us, as copyright holders, ‘opt out’ if we don’t want tech companies breaching our copyright to train their systems. The big companies then use our own art in competition against us. The UK ought to be proud of its children’s book tradition. Our artwork is exported all over the world, and by giving it away free, we’re ruining the industry. Children will be poorer: there’ll get dumbed-down, mechanical books that have no real person thinking hard about each aspect of them. My colleague Steve Antony described it: “It’s like allowing someone to break into my house and steal my belongings so that they can research, recycle and resell them, unless I stick a label on each and every one of my belongings that says ‘DO NOT STEAL’, even though the objects are clearly not theirs and clearly within someone else’s house. That house bring my copyright. It’s absolutely ridiculous, makes no sense, completely destroys existing copyright laws and insults every single one of us.” Please, could you stand up for us and out copyright? If you could mention our concerns to Feryal Clark, Minister for AI & Digital Governent, and to Chris Bryant, Minister for Creative Industry, Arts & Tourism, I’d greatly appreciate it. Warmest wishes, Sarah McIntyre, Illustrator & Author, Bovey Tracey

Some of my favourite design briefs have come from @simonguy.bsky.social and this was one of them! @hm-nde.bsky.social 's lovely book about African Folklore has been such a joy to work on! ✨

Today's post has made me very happy. A book I commissioned from @hm-nde.bsky.social for Watkins. Helen did the most amazing job: vivid retellings, eye-opening and thought-provoking accompanying notes on context and history.

Fantastic cover design by @onecuriouschip.bsky.social.

Publishes in March.

Look, I am going to post these again. Because I adore these strange and gnarly and beautiful possibly fantasy, possibly something else books. And @ianmcque.bsky.social and @onecuriouschip.bsky.social did an amazing job on the covers and Ludluda comes out in December and Jeff and Steve deserve joy.
A copy of Gogmagog and a copy of Ludluda. Published by Angry Robot. The cover art depicts ramshackle buildings on a river front and a city beyond.
