Published in 2000, and subtitled 'A subjective survey of British illustration in the 1990s', this book has become something of a rarity. Based on interviews with artists, clients, designers and critics, the book's analysis of 'authorial' illustration, and its discussion of the the pros and cons of digital processes, in respect of illustrators' experience, are still highly relevant to current Illustration practice. Containing 30 colour illustrations, by Sara Fanelli, Russell Mills, Jonathon Rosen, Michelle Thompson, Jeff Fisher, Paul Slater and many others, this is definitely NOT a 'How to ...' book! A graduate of the Royal College of Art, Robert Mason has worked as a successful and influential illustrator and lecturer for over thirty years.
