Yay, the new
3x3 annual is finally out! It is now available as a printed book and as a pdf, and will soon be released as an iPad app, as well.
My illustration (above) got an honorable mention —it is from
No Crocodiles in Town. To see all the winning illustrations online, go to 3x3 then click on the
Online Annual No.11 button. It includes work for the Picture Book Show, as well as the Professional Show and the Student/Newcomer entries. So many fantastic illustrators from all over the world!
Carry on...
Breaking news: I am very pleased to announce that one of my illustrations has been awarded an honorable mention in the latest
3x3 Picture Book Show! It's an image from
"No Crocodiles in Town", a picture book I'm currently working on.

Early pencil sketch |
I've been absent from this blog the past few months for both good reasons (
a fantastic trip to New York, where I met with lots of my favorite publishers, attended the
SCBWI Conference and caught up with long-lost friends) ... and for not-so-good reasons (involving hospitals and unbearable dread). In the midst of it all, I have tried to continue sketching and grappling with new manuscripts. But this blog fell by the wayside, somewhat :-( . Hopefully this won't happen again...
Now that I'm, here I did want to mention—horribly, ludicrously late—that I finally received my copy of
3x3 No. 10, the annual from last year (!!) ... and it's a beaut! Look:
Beautifully printed and hard-bound, it unites work from all three of the shows (Picture Book, Pro, and Student Work) in a single volume. Below is my page, featuring the cover and four spreads from
"Crocodile Shoes" (my as-yet-unpublished picture book,
discussed ad nauseum on this blog already).
In a happy coincidence, the page next to mine had images by my friend
Zack Rock whose
new book (
"Homer Henry Hudson's Curio Museum") will be published very soon! Go Zack, go! In fact, the whole annual is overflowing with wonderful work, definitely worth a look.
For those of you who are interested, the 3x3 annual No. 10 is available in both print and digital formats —

“We are pleased to release the first annual Illustrator Income Survey; this 88-page book details the incomes of 616 illustrators from all over the world. Easy-to-read charts and graphs detail income information by country, age and gender.”

3x3, THE MAGAZINE OF CONTEMPORARY ILLUSTRATION: Illustrator Income Book Now Available ($30 for a hard copy at Blurb, or $5 for a downloadable PDF)
You may be interested in knowing that one illustrator somewhere in the US banked $980,000 last year.
While working on Road Work Ahead, I became a little bit obsessed with drawing vehicles. I was taking note of road side construction like I've never did before. So to continue my ABC series, I thought doing a set of transportation might be fun.
You can check out ALL the ABCs I've done so far with a special page dedicated to it now on my website. And I'm happy to announce that the series are winners in the upcoming 3x3 children's show No.8!

3 X 3 Magazine, a very important publication in the field of contemporary illustration, is putting on a conference. Called Nuts and Bolts, it is designed to give students a leg up. Editor and organizer Charles Hively writes,
One of the reasons I want to do this conference is that I don’t believe young illustrators get off on the right foot. No school has time to adequately prepare a student illustrator—or designer or fine artist for that matter—for the real world and as a result the illustration industry remains static. Fees haven’t changed in forty years. Illustration has lost much of the respect it once had among art directors, editors and advertisers. But I feel that can change if we provide young illustrators with a better set of tools and that’s why this conference is so important.

Your graphics are so fun! Great job!
This is great, Jannie!
Just stumbled upon your blog not too long ago...I HAD to comment when I saw this post, with a link to your ABC series...what a great idea! I love your work and admire your prolificacy. I hope to break into the children's book/magazine illustration field, and you are definitely an inspiration, thank you!
So talented! I love your work
it would be nice if the feature would be "zoom picture"
