This image is an illustration by Marion Lindsay.

Back in China now and I thought I'd update with my progress. I've reinvented / improved myself by deciding to concentrate on illustration. I've therefore been doing some asking around about how to get into illustration and especially into the children’s books market. I emailed a friend of a friend, Marion Lindsay who helped enormously. I was recommended to buy a publishing directory so that I know;

a)       - who to send stuff to,

b)       - what to send,

c)       - how to send it – post or email.

It’ll be a wicked posting fee to China, but should be worth it. My intention is to work remotely here either for the UK market, but also here for local businesses. Next thing on the list is to create a portfolio and to rejig the *piplessjam website to include the fresher illustration section. Watch this space…
