Throwback to 2015! Some old artwork has found its way to a new exhibition in Paris. 'La Fabrique du Temps' explores the theme of time through postal objects and contemporary art. My original watercolour illustrations of the White Rabbit and the Mad Hatter's tea party both feature in the exhibition.
Here’s a quick flick-through of my illustrations for Becoming Grace by the wonderful #hilarymckay. Hilary brings to life the world Grace Darling knew before her fame - the hardships and excitement of growing up in a lighthouse, with her large family and a dog called Happy. Out April 10th!
This is the full-wrap artwork for the dust jacket of Wolf Mountain by @profaliceroberts.bsky.social , coming this April! I thought it might be fun to animate a parallax pan of the artwork layers.
COVER REVEAL! I’m thrilled to share the cover for WOLF MOUNTAIN, the sequel to WOLF ROAD, by @profaliceroberts.bsky.social , coming this April! 🐺⛰️
Oh hey, if you need some beautifully haunting illustrations this year, my schedule's (mostly) free starting February! Portfolio: janaheidersdorf.com Contact: janaheidersdorf@gmail.com
Happy publication day to Robin Hood! I’ve illustrated several covers for the re-issue of Michael Morpurgo’s catalogue but I think this is my favourite, not least because Robin was my childhood hero! #illustration
Mountain background for a thing. I do like drawing mountains! Sometimes, not often, it seems like all you have to do is turn up and the work makes itself. Today was a day like that. I love charcoal, it’s almost magical. You put it down, treat it nicely and it just does stuff for you.
I was thrilled to illustrate this cover for the new book by award-winning, New York Times bestselling author, Geraldine McCaughrean. The fiery sky was painted with gouache and the smoke textures were made with charcoal, all put together in photoshop and finished digitally. Out April '25 #kidlitart
I do actually have a new book out this year, but I'm going to continue to promote my other books too because there are still too many young readers who haven't yet discovered this interactive series in which YOU decide what happens next & yet there are no dead ends. They're different to other books.
Here are some of my favourite bits from 2024. Thank you to all the wonderful authors and publishers who have let me draw all over their work. I’ve also done a lot of silly reference poses this year - here I am as the leader of a prehistoric tribe 😄
Without downloading any new pics , what’s your energy going into 2025.

It's a pleasure to have illustrated my third book for @hilarymckay.bsky.social, whose writing I love. BECOMING GRACE is the real life story of Grace Darling, a lighthouse keeper's daughter, who overcame her fear of drowning to rescue stranded survivors on the Forfarshire. #kidlitart
Beautiful light yesterday. I love how the sun catches the underside of the clouds.

Congratulations @colmthewriter.bsky.social and @hickesy.bsky.social for inclusion on Toppsta's 100 must-read children's books of 2024! toppsta.com/blog/view/be... I had a blast doing these spooky covers. And remember kids, a psychotic shelf-elf is for life, not just for Christmas.
I came across a copy of Susan Cooper’s ‘Over Sea Under Stone’ at the weekend, illustrated by Margery Gill, c.1965. I love her energetic line work and the way she balances it with areas of bold black brushwork. Her composition is wonderful and the poses of her characters are so fluid and natural.
Okay revised the starter pack description to make it clearer. If u r a designer or illustrator please boost this to help me find other hiring directors. If u r an art, design, or creative director who hires designers and/or illustrators, raise your hand—I’ll add u. go.bsky.app/Hxoz9KX
Aren't these lovely? And I don't even like Christmas 😄 Get 'em while they last!
I've been painting away here in Devon and I've made some extremely cute little Christmas decorations. If you'd like one, or know someone who would, please pop over to my shop where I've got a limited number for sale. www.nataliesmillie.com/shop I would LOVE a repost if you would be so kind! 🎄
It’s a huge honour to have illustrated three of the The Times best children’s books of 2024. I know that sounds like an annoying humble-brag, which it is! BUT I also mean it. Thank you @jprosewriter.bsky.social, Ross Montgomery and @hilarymckay.bsky.social for trusting me with your beautiful books 💜
I know I’ve said it before, but November really does do the best twilight
I've done a stack of new work in the past few months but I won't be able to share any of it for a while, so forgive me if I recycle the occasional oldie. Here's a little autumnal thing I did for fun 🍁
Just saw a nice post on Insta from @waterstoneskids.bsky.social, with #MichaelMorpurgo talking about his new book, Cobweb - which I'm using as an excuse for blatant self-promotion! I've been very fortunate to illustrate several new covers for the recent re-release of his back-catalogue. #kidlitart

Lots of adorable cat photos on my feed today. Is that because it's #Caturday? I don't own a cat but here are some I drew for Rosa by Starlight, by Hilary McKay.
