the mother of all illustrators' site?
Dear All
I was wondering, is there a website somewhere that has fast-loading multiple samples of many different book illustrator's illustrations?

cpe,
I am not sure what kind of illustration you are looking for, but my favorite illustration websites are:
www.bpib.com/illustra.htm
www.ortakales.com/illustrators/
And, ahem, I guess mine which now has over 800 illustrations of fairy tales by Golden Age illustrators. (It will be over 1,000 by the end of October if all goes well.) The thumb nail pages shouldn't take too long to load--I planned them that way. It is up at:
www.surlalunefairytales.c...index.html

kinds of illustrators
dear celestial, what a beautiful name.
I would like to see practicing children's and story illustrators in oil, acrylic, guache (oh boy I definitely don't know how to spell that), watercolor, including woodcut, scratchboard, paper collage, torn paper, etc. illustrators. Let's see, style. hmmm, I think painterly, um, hmmm good question Celestial, I think rich in color, I think maybe from pre-raphaelite style all the way to hmmmmmmm, how would I call that? I think *designy* is the word that comes to mind. I know what this means but am not sure anyone else does (grin) . Okay, all the way from pre-raphaelite style to 'designy' to illustratorly, to *outsider* meaning folk, not fantasy art. There, that is the best I can say right now.
I had a great time perusing the vadeboncoeur site yesterday that Heidi recommended; I am working my way through the suggestions one at a time. (grin); all those classical illustrators, how lovely so many of them were. Truly. I had this weird feeling that I wanted to embrace them, like you could almost breathe some of those colors like oxygen.
con cariņo,
cpe

practicing children's book illustrators
A couple of the more obvious sites to check out for people currently illustrating are:
www.scbwi.org
(This is the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. Go to the "links" section. MANY current illustrators)
Or: www.cbcbooks.org
(Which is the Children's Book Council. Also under 'links").
Is this the kind of thing you are looking for?
If you'd like to see the links to the illustrators who post on this board, you can look at:
www.surlalunefairytales.com/boardarchives/2002/feb2002/boardbusiness.html
They are mixed in with the authors or personal webpages, but there is a very interesting mix of people who post here. :-) I've enjoyed looking many of them up.
Hope this helps.

where is the 'edit' button?
Ooops. I meant to make those links active. Despite being 'registered', I don't seem to be able to go back and fix that. (Heidi - what do I do?)
Sorry!

Re: where is the 'edit' button?
Glad you like my name but it's actually Celeste (Marie Celeste).
I'll get back to you soon with those web addresses, but in the meantime you can have a stickybeak at my work (The Wild Swans)
libdev.uow.edu.au/crearts...leste.html
it's just a page from my old uni, not my own site, and you will need to click on the images to see them properly as they are a bit small.

Art to enjoy...
cpe,
Well I've tried to post this three times and keep loosing it into cyber space so here I go one more
time...
I'd first off, pay a visit to the gallery section of Terri Windling's Endicott Stuidio for the Mythic Arts
www.endicott-studio.com/gallery
Then you could drift on over to the mini website (with links to the individual artists) that I set up for the fairy tale board's discussion of modern day visionary artists:
www.lightfallsdesign.com/fairytale
You would not be remiss in visiting Kinuko Y. Craft's site:
www.kycraft.com/Pages/kycraftmain
Or Ruth Sanderson's Golden Wood Studio:
www.ruthsanderson.com
I just discovered this artist in the latest Utne Reader, Mayuma Oda:
www.womensearlyart.net/reference/oda
And if you still have time, stop by my site and sit a spell:
www.greenmanpress.com
Have fun and enjoy the "art" experience!
Best,
Charles

Links that don't work on the last post..
cpe,
I'm just not a cybermind that's all there is to it...
Since these links dont work ibn the last post you can just cut and paste them into your browser if you feel the need.

your minds
Thank you so for helping me learn. I am working my way through your suggestions. There is so much beauty in this world; there should be a segment EVERY HOUR on cnn and FNC that shows 120 seconds of illustrators' work just to remind everyone that goodness and true craft still exists.
thank you all again, and Charles, I know what you mean, it has been driving me a little bit od, I sometimes cannot get my message to post either. But I am glad you kept trying and the links work. So never fear. You efforts came through
all best
