Frequently asked questions
A book illustration is any piece of original artwork created for use inside or on the cover of a book — from full-spread picture book art to a single spot illustration at a chapter opener. Book illustration is a distinct craft from general art or commercial illustration: it has to serve the text, respect the page, and survive translation into print.
