Katherine Kirkland commented on candygourlay's blog post 'eCritique's Bouncing Babies!'
Hi Candy, I've been reading about eCritique with interest. I am an illustrator and wondering if there is group I can join which specialises in this field? I am guessing the PB group may be the one most relevant, as I am also wanting to write a pictu…

About Me
I am an oddity! I started out in 3D design, went on to packaging design, graphic design, and have returned to my first love of illustration. I have always loved to draw and through my varied background have had the opportunity to work in various capacities with prestigious clients including M&S, Boots, Hallmark, Ragg Doll, Universal Studios, 20th Century Fox, and Disney to name a few. I have been working in my own business for a number of years in graphic design and illustration. I have recently decided that I want to concentrate fully on illustration and perhaps try to write and illustrate my own book.
What are you working on at the moment?
I am currently painting some interior visuals for a yacht interior designer client.
If you were asked to recommend just one children's book published this year, what would it be?
That's a difficult one, I tend to look at the work of writer/illustrators as that is my greatest interest. Also I tend to look at picture books for the same reason. I think Rob Scotton with Splat the Cat is great fun.
What is the most important thing you learned about writing or illustrating this year?
Persistence and careful research is the key to success.

yes I'm about to launch a critique group for author-illustrators, ie artists that write, or are attempting to write, their own stories or plots. Very shortly to be announced!

hello Katherine. Thanks for getting in touch again. Sorry, I won't be able to get to Winchester. As you said it would be nice to meet up. i had another of my poems chosen by the same publisher. They want to include it in their 21st. anniversary anthology. They said I could use the same one they had already sent them but I chose to send a different one and they liked it. I sent one called "Blindness". I don't think you have read that one.
Perhaps when you get back from Winchester then I can send you one of my poems to see if you can do something about illustrating itSpeak to you soon,
David.

Hello Katherine.
All I can say is DOH DOH DOH!
When I asked you if I could send you one of my poems I gave you the wrong email address. It should have been waffo59@mac.com The chockhead side of it is the official name for the site not my email address, so if you have replied to me under the address I gave you then it is floating up there somewhere in the ether!! Sorry about that.
Best wishes
David.

FOUND IT!!! excellent pictures/paintings. You really are very very talented. I would love it if you could have a go at one of my poems. If you have an email address I could send one to you. One of my email addresses is chockhead@mac.com if you can send me your address. My comments on your illustrations are under one of my names Waffooo.

Hello Katherine. Thanks for getting back to me. I can understand how you must have to juggle things about with a young child to look after. I have been to the web page you told me to but nowhere could I find your work under Frazerazor. I started on page six as you said but nothing. I then went to all the other pages, still nothing. Do you think they have moved you? Couldn't find the Freddy and the Fairies poem either at Waterstones. I put the title in but it came back as a negative search. I have to go out on a Taxi job now but will look again when I get back.

Hello Katherine, I'll try just this one more time to reach you. It could be that you are too busy to reply and if that is the case then I apologise for bothering you. I know you said you had some pressing work you had to get finished.
Regards
David.

Hi Katherine, did you get my last comments to you?
At 7:24pm on July 3, 2009, David H Worsdale said…
Hi Katherine,
Thank you for your kind comments on my WORM poem. Thank you too for saying you would have a go at illustrating it, but this morning I received a letter from a publisher who has said she would like to use the poem in a "Collection Of Poems For Children' she is planning to publish September 30th. I feel really chuffed about it as you can guess and have sent off my permission for them to go ahead. They didn't mention anything about getting paid for it but at least I'll have my name in print and someone else may see my work.
Cheers
David.
