About the Illustrator Frances Ives' love of all things drawing started in childhood, when she dived into an obsession with poster paints and making a big mess on every available surface. This hasn't changed much, but these days she mostly tries to keep it on the paper. Frances takes her inspiration from the structures and people that surround her, and her most abiding source of inspiration is still the constant yet ever-changing sky, and all of its colours.
