Tugeau 2 Blog

My agent started up a blog recently. All of the artists will be contributing along with Nicole Tugeau, the headmistress. :) This is going to be a very fun and unique venture; I haven’t seen too many blogs quite like this one (and I read a lot of blogs…hehe).

This is a great opportunity to get a different perspective on the children’s illustration industry. We’re still experimenting with the content and direction of the blog, so if you have any feedback, please let us know! Submit questions, comments, and suggestions to the artists; and if you want to learn more about the business from an art rep’s point-of-view, I’m sure Nicole would love to hear from you!

Visit the blog at tugeau2.wordpress.com.

And subscribe to the feed for future updates.

75 Artists You Must Know and Where to Find Them

Illustrators

Great artists educate you, influence your style, and inspire great artwork by setting a high standard. But how familiar are you really with illustration history? I asked myself this the other day and was ashamed to realize that my knowledge was a bit fuzzy.

So, I started to research some of the great artists that influence illustrators today. This list is the result. If you are a student, practitioner, or fan of illustration, I truly believe you should know all these artists by name and their work.

I am certain I’ve left out plenty of great artists that deserve to be on this list. If you know of any artist or link that I failed to include, please leave a comment on this post. Now…click away!
