Chris Haughton Illustrator visit





Last thursday we had the pleasure of welcoming  Childrens book Illustrator Chris Haughton to The Illustration studio.





http://www.theaoi.com/awards/winner-details.php?id=77




He has produced a number of Books and worked for a variety of clients.






He spent most of the day chatting to and working with the Illustrators and Graphic Designers about his working method and process.




He also gave a presentation of his work and his career to date and a look at another project where his artwork has been made into high quality rugs through the 'Node' project:


the video can be found here:






A particular highlight was his insights into working with clients and in particular how to approach publishers  and get to know what they are looking for.



For more info look at Chris' web site.
