I'm always chuffed when I find that someone has taken the trouble to scan images from my books to share them on-line.
I found a whole bunch from The Candlewick Book of Fairytales on a Russian site and, as I am just now in a Fairy Tale frame of mind I thought I'd post some of them here.
The book came out in the mid 1990s and did really well, but unfortunately it went under several different names in different territories. I'm still very fond of it, and my thanks go out to the Russian blogger who scanned the pictures.
большое спасибо

Dear PJ,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the beautiful work! I have your picture books. I'm dreaming, one day, hopefully, get them signed by you...:).
Kind regards, Sadami
Wow Sadami, you are quick off the mark... I hadn't finished putting up the post.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure our paths will cross some day and I'll be delighted to sign all your books.
Many thanks for your comment. It's greatly appreciated

wow, they are beautiful. Really inspiring. I especially like the lighting in the six swans painting. Thanks for the free motivation hehe.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! So much pretty it is hard to compliment each individually :]
ReplyDeleteI geeked out about this entry! Hooray for being in a fairy tale frame of mind!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved this book.
ReplyDeleteI recently discovered a ton of my work on a Russian site too. A bit creepy since I have no idea how they could have got some of it...
Thanks for those great comments guys. I love the idea of you being "Geeked Out" Aladine.
ReplyDeleteI hope you all check each other's blogs. There is great work going on there.
There's not much you can do to stop folks scanning your work Amy June. I think it is absolutely fine unless they are making money out of your pictures without permission.
Regards
PJ
I work at a Waldorf School - must get my hands on these books...
ReplyDeleteYour work is exquisite.
ReplyDeleteExactly the sort of books to give children a sense of joy.

The drawings are beyond beautiful. I am sorry that I have not seen any of your books. However I am now going out in search of these. I was an art student for 4 years but I can not do such beauty. Thank you so much for your work, from Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
