Last night Nosy Crow returned to The Book Club in Shoreditch for the third edition of the Nosy Crow Illustrator Salon – featuring special guest Sarah Warburton, the highly-acclaimed illustrator of the Princess and the… picture book series and the brand new Invincibles illustrated fiction series, written by Caryl Hart.
It was another great evening, I thought – I loved hearing Sarah talk about how her work has developed over her 22-year career, how she creates her artwork, how she finds particular things in Caryl’s texts that give her inspiration, and much more besides. I think Kate, our salonnière for the evening, summed up the night perfectly afterwards:
