5 out of 5 starsBeautiful, strange, mysterious piece. I absolutely love Alison Jay's work, which I discovered through I Took the Moon for a Walk, one of my daughter's favorite books. Jay's art has that indelible quality of transporting you to some Other place, despite the recognizably British character of the landscapes, architecture and figures. After Sendak died I feared we'd lost the last of the truly magical children's artists - the kind who belie the de facto demotion that designation inexplicably confers. But my daughter's generation is extremely fortunate to benefit from a rich array of marvelous new talents, Jay among them. The print was well-packed and arrived quickly; can't wait to frame it.

Illustrator and Artist
Hello I'm Alison Jay, a professional children's book illustrator, and I have illustrated over 30 books….
My latest publication is Out of the Blue published by Barefoot Books, it is a textless picture book that I wrote myself, and I’m thrilled to say it has been nominated for the Kate Greenaway prize 2015.
I work in a tiny room filled with light, heat, and clutter; well it does help with creativity you know!
The paintings in this gallery are pieces I’ve painted while developing book ideas, and some are just because I love the subject matter: my “Bus Lady's Holiday” so to speak.
I’ve always painted with oil paint( alkyds) on paper, and recently I’ve been working on thick watercolour paper, using a more subdued palette.
Often my work is finished with a crackle glaze, this brings out the colours and gives the work an almost timeless quality.
I hope to be able to offer smaller pieces and prints, in between working on my next book …. Bee and ME !
