At last - it’s time to reveal the winners of the Bord Gais Energy Irish Book Awards… with not one but TWO children’s books categories.
The Specsavers Children’s Book of the Year Jnr award goes to Benji Bennett.
A win that puts Benji in ahead of Mary Murphy, Chris Judge and Ann Carroll & Derry Dillon.
The Specsavers Children’s Book of the Year Snr award goes to the one and only Derek Landy!!
An incredible win that beats back stiff competition from John Boyne, Judi Curtin, debut Darragh Martin.
The guys over at Cartoon Brew posted Chogrin‘s blog tribute - with new illustrations and a brilliant re-imagining of the title sequence by Salba Combe.
Go on, relive the madness of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup.
Earlier this month I snuck into Illustrators Inc. and spent an inspiring talking to illustrators, creatives, designers, publishers and a Laureate. If you missed out on the day itself - don’t miss out on the incredible presentations - from licensing, marketing all the way back to layout and design.
You can even relive the moment when Warren had everyone in the room design an app for kids…
Don’t believe me? Check out CBI’s site for that and a whole lot more!
With both Microsoft’s Xbox One and Sony’s PlayStation 4 now on shelves - the reviews are coming in thick and fast. Neither console has a list of game software to live up to the hardware that they are shilling - but both are looking to the future alongside entertainment integration and a whole lot more.
Check out the Polygon reviews for both Playstation and Xbox.
*Fun fact of the day: Xbox One and Playstation 4 both surpassed 1m console sales on launch day.
