Suzy Ultman

Where has Suzy Ultman sprung from? I do not know, but recently her products have arrived in all my favourite kids' boutiques, looking assured, and just that little bit different. Whether it's the nicely packaged thick card picture packs, or the large dress-up dolls, all her products stand out, even in a marketplace packed with similar goods.

A quick Google reveals her illustration agency (with a stable of equally appealing artists) and that her products are available on Amazon, as well as in those froufrou kids' shops I like so much.

Jolly good, another illustrator in the ascendant, it looks like. Long may this trend continue.
