WELCOME HOME!

Last August the Picture Bookies Showcase engaged in a brief hiatus after 1250 posts we closed the gallery for a time.

Sponsored by the Picture Bookies Group, the doors are once again WIDE OPEN and the illustrators of children's books and products are back to display their work for your enjoyment.

Thank You Illustrators

Artist's Choice - Final Week

©Kathleen Rietz
I am currently working on illustrating 2 new picture books which will be out in 2009, so I do not have anything new to show. This piece "Happy Halloween" is one of my most popular illustrations. It is also available as a fine art print in my shop. It's been great to see a showcase of such wondferful talent here every week. I will miss the Showcase. Best to everyone here with all of your endeavors. ~ Kate
