The first being that recent (Jan 09) MA Children's Book Illustration graduate Esther Hall had been selected for the prestigious
Bologna Children's Book Fair Exhibition held in Italy every year in March.
As a result of which she has been signed up by illustrators agent Plum Pudding Illustration you can have a look at her portfolio, and their full roster here: http://www.plumpuddingillustration.com/plumPudding.swf
Also Esther was selected as highly commended in the Macmillan Prize for Children's Book Illustration last year, since when Esther has been working on a book for Macmillan. We hear that she will be published, and we look forward to posting some images of that book as soon as it becomes available!
