Very interesting, I love the fact that NOT very nice is a compliment! I keep seeing a woman carrying an old fashioned head covering hair dryer across the road, must be doing some old dear’s hair…is bear wearing one in your drawing? I am a Fabriano fan btw Hxx

Really lovely illustrations! I wish you well with your story-building, and look forward to hearing about your paper experiments (I applaud paper-geekery!).

Oh my but your illustrations are a delightful find this morning. I just visited Leigh’s blog and website and followed the link here to yours. How beautiful is your wonderful work. I am hoping to see more of it. It’s very lovely your style. Wishing you all the very best,
Vanessa

I love the colours Holly, somehow bright and jolly but without being too garish. The bear’s shadow is a nice touch too – makes it all seem gently 3D. And yes, nice golf shoes!

Hello honey,

What a great website and an impressive number of super books you have illustrated!

I do not have your email on my laptop, so since I thought of you tonight I thought I’d drop you a line here. You see, Martin and I are going to a wedding near Eastbourne in September, and were wondering if you were around Sunday 25th?

Lots love,
Anne Kristin

PS – I had no idea you had a link to my webpage, THANKS! only it does not exist anymore, if you would be so kind and change it to http://www.annekristin.no?

Comment on Some colour pictures… by Rob Chisholm

Hi Holly, I came across your site with my wife and was excited to see that it was the same Holly Swain from Chaucer! Your work looks fantastic and I will go and find one of your books so that my little girls can enjoy them also!

Do drop me an email if you have time….I bumped in Jody Bartan at the train station in Camberwell about 10 years ago not realising that he was/has made a name for himself.

Take care, all the best

Rob
