Amazing Illustrations
Posted on 03. Oct, 2011 by charles in Life Stories, Self Development
During the last week, our team has completed another five books in the Amazing People Club Series. Everyone has done an excellent job. All of the books have hand drawn portraits on the people featured. They have been drawn by Emily Hamilton.
We met over three years ago when she was on a working holiday. She replied to an online advertisement for a research job. We met at a cafe and talked over a general research role for the books that I write. Emily had not done such work before, so I asked her what she really liked to do. She said that her hobby was to make illustrations of things and people. At the time, I did not have any pictures for my stories of amazing people. So, I asked her to show me some of hers. They were very good and I asked her to become the chief illustrator for my books.
Emily has now produced over 500 illustrations and they light up the amazing people books.
Every time I see one of her illustrations, I feel the person could walk off the page and say hello. Can you name the three musicians shown? They are in the new book called – Amazing Musicians - which will be published in November.
Therefore, many thanks to Emily for all her contributions to the books and also appreciation to other team members whose work may not be so visible but is equally valued.
