Artist of the day, March 16: Howard McWilliam, British Illustrator

In late 2005 Howard McWilliam left his day job as a financial journalist and editor to pursue his true love of illustration full time. But he still consider an essential element of his work to be editorial – digesting an article, no matter how dry and technical, and coming up with the visual metaphor that will bring it to life.

He now illustrate regularly for a wide range of UK and international magazines and newspapers, including The Daily Telegraph and The Week magazine (both the UK edition and the US edition).

He is delighted to have illustrated his first two children’s picture books, “I Need My Monster” by Amanda Noll (March 2009) and “When a Dragon Moves In” by Jodi Moore (April 2011).

he have also illustrated the Ghost Detectors series (Adbo Publishing, August 2009); a selection of retold classics for children (also Adbo Publishing, September/December 2010); the cover illustrations for a series of four Kit Salter adventures (Quercus Books, March 2009); and the cover illustrations for the Alfie the Werewolf series (Hodder Children’s Books, April 2010).
