Changes

ES: My favourite artists are, among others, Vincent van Gogh, Gustav Klimt and the wallpaper designs of William Morris. As for illustrators, I really love the work of [[:Category:Brian Wildsmith|Brian Wildsmith]] - his colours and patterns are just beautiful. [[:Category:Eric Carle|Eric Carle]] has always been a favourite too, from a very early age, and John Burningham's books are lovely- I really like the relationship between the words and pictures and I think they complement each other perfectly. Other favourites include [[:Category:Polly Dunbar|Polly Dunbar]], [[:Category:Catherine Rayner|Catherine Rayner]] and Alexis Deacon, whose fantastic books adorn my shelves. A special mention goes to [[:Category:James Mayhew|James Mayhew]], who was my tutor at Cambridge School of Art and who continues to be a good friend and source of illustration wisdom!

ES: I would imagine it depends on who it is you want to recognize your work- a children's author may not gain the same amount of recognition as an adult novelist from the same audience, but then the work of a children's author is aimed at a different age group. Children's authors are much better known by people who either work with children or have children of their own, which would suit me fine!
