Illustration Styles
I am privileged to have been working as a commissioned illustrator for 20 years. In that time my style has developed and there are clear differences in many of my titles. The foundation is watercolour with pencil line – I also use acrylic, oil pastel, photographs and many fine papers starting with Korean hanji and more recently, patterned papers from book binding specialists like Shepherds Falkiners and Paperchase.
Although I do have a preferred way of working I am happy to discuss the style that will best suit your brief. Please have a good look at my gallery and my books. It’s all there. We can push and pull the techniques to create the look you require.
Please contact me if you wish to discuss my illustrations.
Digital Files
All artwork is now supplied as digital files. Please specify your requirements from the outset.

Creative Direction
Creative Director for Pupfish Books and Music 2001–009
I have project managed every aspect of a book’s life from concept to completion. This has included commissioning authors and illustrators – briefing designers and liaising with print professionals for the best possible finish.
All the books featured on this website are creatively directed by me. Please view the Pupfish page to browse these titles.
Please contact me if you wish to discuss delivery of a book project from start to finish.

Social Media
As you will see from my website I am embracing the modern age and using social media to raise awareness of my work. I believe I am able to bring added value to any book we do together and contribute to the life of our readers beyond the pages of a title alone.
You will find me on Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn and Twitter.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row margin_top=”0″ margin_bottom=”0″ padding_left=”40″ padding_right=”40″ bg_position=”top” bg_repeat=”repeat” bg_cover=”false” bg_attachment=”false” padding_top=”30″ padding_bottom=”20″ parallax_speed=”0.1″ min_height=”360″ type=”1″ bg_image=”http://susiepoole.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/texture-torquoise-spots-repeat-strip.png”][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_widget_sidebar show_bg=”false” sidebar_id=”sidebar_4″][dt_gap height=”10″][vc_widget_sidebar show_bg=”false” sidebar_id=”sidebar_3″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_single_image image=”787″ alignment=”right” border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
