House of Illustration 11 Feb’ - 6 March 2016
The House of Illustration have run a book illustration competition in partnership with the Folio Society for the past six years, and this year the book chosen was Michael Morpurgo’s ‘War Horse’. Having two keen readers in the family under the age of twelve this book was already on the shelf so, having no excuses, I decided to submit work to the competition. After extensive research into WW1, horses and posters from the era, the images were ready. To my delight, they were selected from hundreds of other submissions for exhibition at the House of Illustration itself in Kings Cross as part of their long list of twenty-five artists.
