This made me long for real mail that isn't my credit card statement or my electricity bill. In order to encourage any young/old/middle-aged illustrators out there I have decided to have a competition. The best illustrated envelope –- regular size please -- sent to me at 175 Young Street, Parkside, SA 5063, will win not only five hardback picture books but also a serious look at the artist's portfolio.
Take a look at the Guardian link -- you will see how some illustrators managed this idea. The idea is for you to show characters in situ -- something that suggests a story to us. So get your brushes, inks and paper and get started!
A note from your Conductor
I love this idea! I have just forwarded it to all my 'teacher' friends on facebook as I think this would be a great school activity to reintroduce the younger generation back to the idea of snail mail.
