Images 29

The Association of Illustrators' annual has been showcasing the very best of contemporary British illustration for nearly 30 years.

Standing apart from other sourcebooks by virtue of its jury-selected contents, the Images back catalogue provides an ideal overview of the wealth and variety of illustration being produced in the UK today. "Images 29" introduces the new Critic's Award, this year selected by Tom Lubbock (Art Critic, i.e.

The Independent Review) and includes established and new talents in seven categories: Advertising, Books, Children's Books, Design & New Media, Editorial, Students and Unpublished.

The gold award winning works now include the illustrators' profile while the Critic's award is published together with a short comment by Tom Lubbock. Andrzej Klimowski (Head of Illustration, Royal College of Art) has written the introduction. "Images 29" is the only jury-selected illustration annual in the UK and comes this year with a new, further improved design concept.

The hardback format and impressive layout provides commissioners with the most desirable access to established illustrators and emerging new talent. An indispensable tool for leading commissioners, this catalogue of excellence is an essential publication for academics, students and practitioners alike.
