Illustrated postcards sent straight from my drawing board. I write as candidly as I can about my life as a childrenโs book illustrator/author and share the drawings I make, all with the intention of lifting your spirits and making you smile.
Iโm Claire Powell, a NY Times best-selling childrenโs book illustrator and author, living in the rolling hills of Derbyshire. I draw mostly from my imagination and write mostly about my life, humorously, so Iโm told.
