FEATURED ILLUSTRATOR

BONNIE HELEN HAWKINS

Quick fire questions​

​

When is your most productive time to work? 
Early in the morning. If deadlines are looming will work late into the night.
​

Drawing item you can’t live without? 

My Blackwing.

​

What music puts you in your groove? 

Anything by Hans Zimmer played usually on a loop and at full volume.

​

Age of child you most love to draw?  

Still young enough to be optimistic.

​

If you were an animal, what would you be? 

Tiger.

​

Favourite, yes only one, children’s book of all time? 

Robin Hob - I don’t know if you would call her a children’s writer but I think all YA people should read her “Liveship Traders Trilogy” and “Rain Wide Chronicles”.


Illustrator, author from any time you most admire? 

Edmund Dulac - his composition, economic of line and use of colour simply can not be faulted.
