I won&#8217;t even admit to how many illustrator&#8217;s blogs I&#8217;m subscribed to because you&#8217;d think I&#8217;m semi-insane. Semi-insane because I&#8217;m not an illustrator myself (or an&#8230; art director or any other career that would logically keep tabs on the illustration world so much): I just love illustration, it&#8217;s as simple as that. <\/p>\n<p>I think it all stems from my love of children&#8217;s books. Generally, people graduate to reading chapter books and leave their picture books behind: they&#8217;re packed up and tucked away. Most adults don&#8217;t touch an illustrated book again until they have children of their own: not me. Picture books have never left my shelves and never will. As someone who loves to write, I adore the stories told through words in these books, but man do I also love the illustrations. <\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t really get into the whole (wonderful!) world of blogs and the internet until after I graduated from college, but once I did it was only natural that I&#8217;d find myself spending hours at a time scrolling through illustrator&#8217;s portfolios \/ blogs. My love for illustration started through those placed in a book format, but now it encompasses the work of illustrators in all forms. <\/p>\n<p>When Amy approached me about doing a guest post featuring some of my favorite illustrators, I thought I&#8217;d choose those whose work I would love to see in book form. Hey publishing companies! Make this happen.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/4469.jpg\" class=\"image\" title=\"Marisa Seguin\" alt=\"Marisa Seguin\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/marisaseguin.com\/\">Marisa Seguin<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/4471.jpg\" class=\"image\" title=\"Tuesday Bassen\" alt=\"Tuesday Bassen\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tuesdaybassen.net\/\">Tuesday Bassen<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/4463.jpg\" class=\"image\" title=\"Anne Emond\" alt=\"Anne Emond\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/anneemond.com\/\">Anne Emond<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/4467.jpg\" class=\"image\" title=\"Eleni Kalorkoti\" alt=\"Eleni Kalorkoti\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.elenikalorkoti.com\/\">Eleni Kalorkoti<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/4472.jpg\" class=\"image\" title=\"Yelena Brysenkova\" alt=\"Yelena Brysenkova\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/yelenabryksenkova.com\/\">Yelena Bryksenkova<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/4468.jpg\" class=\"image\" title=\"Lizzy Stewart\" alt=\"Lizzy Stewart\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.abouttoday.co.uk\/\">Lizzy Stewart<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/4470.jpg\" class=\"image\" title=\"Nolan Pelletier\" alt=\"Nolan Pelletier\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nolannolannolan.com\/\">Nolan Pelletier<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/4466.jpg\" class=\"image\" title=\"Eirian Chapman\" alt=\"Eirian Chapman\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/eirianchapman.com\/\">Eirian Chapman<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/4465.jpg\" class=\"image\" width=\"440\" height=\"442\" alt=\"Denise Holmes\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/niseemade.com\/\">Denise Holmes<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/4464.jpg\" class=\"image\" title=\"Dadu Shin\" alt=\"Dadu Shin\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dadushin.com\/\">Dadu Shin<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>You can follow Mallory and her obsession with illustration (<em>and many other lovely things!<\/em>) over here:<br \/>\nHer <a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/mallory_m\/illustration-adoration\/\">Illustration Adoration pinboard over at Pinterest<\/a> |  <a href=\"http:\/\/illustratedladies.tumblr.com\/\">Illustrated Ladies<\/a> (&#38;
