Profile
Colour and movement are the keystones of Chantelle and Burgen's distinctive illustrations. Graphic designers by trade, they take great delight in story boarding out a book, balancing strong compositions with quirky, hand-lettered text and carefully crafted characters. In 2019, they won a gold medal award from Reader's Favourite for 'The Real Farmer in the Dell' published by Spork and their book 'Wanda' raced off the shelves to become the fastest selling children's book publisher Jacana Media has ever produced! They also had a blast illustrating 'Speedy Monkey' for Stripes and 'Mommy Loves You' for Imagine That. They can't wait to see what will happen next.... ___________________________________________________________________________________________ They are represented by Paul Moreton of the fabulous Bell Lomax Moreton agency worldwide. www.belllomaxmoreton.co.uk ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Clients include: Stripes, Clear Fork, Jacana, Crocodile Books, Pearson, Hodder and Stoughton, Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Heinemann, Macmillan, Benchmark, Imagine That.
