ACHUKA book of the day!

There is a special, glittering hardback gift edition Hans Christian Andersen's greatest tale illustrated by me. @PJLynchart @thesnowqueen @hanschristianandersen Andersen Press

Really spoilt for great books this week… “Kevin and the Blackbirds” by David Almond and PJ Lynch is a truely stunning retelling of an Irish Legend. Word and art combine beautifully to tell a magical story about being part of and respecting nature. #PicturebookPage

Today’s Discover Irish Children's Books #DIKBChallenge24 led me to this beauty by PJ Lynch. No words needed! An almost-double spread from his new book with David Almond, Kevin and the Blackbirds 🐦‍⬛

Thanks so much, Nicolette!

It has been so nice to revisit my illustration of the gentle old Children of Lir at rest together. From the Names Upon The Harp' by Marie Heaney.

My big picture, "When Laputa Came To Dun Laoghaire," which lives in the Lexicon Library, was looking a bit faded and smudged, so I brought my charcoal and chalks in and spent a few pleasant hours touching it up. #Laputa #PJLynchArt #LexIconLibrary #Gulliver #JonathanSwift

I found this large nude of Danielle when I was doing a studio clean out. I hadn’t seen it for a few years, but now I really like it and I’m fixing it up for an exhibition I’m having next March. Details to follow. PJ Lynch Scott Clark @nudepaintedinoils.

With Thanksgiving coming soon, here are some of the preparatory sketches I made for ‘The Boy Who Fell Off The Mayflower.’ They will be on sale at pARTake Art Fair at the Hunt Museum in Limerick on Sunday, 24th November 11am-3pm PJ Lynch Mayflower emre sen

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. Here's an animation of the Mayflower departing from Plymouth in England on her journey to America as seen in my book 'The Boy Who Fell Off The Mayflower.’

It’s always great to do book events with my pal, Eoin Colfer. We’ll be at Hodges Figgis in Dublin from 11.30pm till 1pm tomorrow. See you there!

Eoin and I will also be signing all our most recent books, including Three Tasks For A Dragon, this Saturday, 7th December at the Dubray Books stand at Gifted in the RDS, 3pm @eoincolfer @pjlynchart

I had the best time at the Schoolhouse For Art in Enniskerry painting Santa...yet again. This time artist, Doug Ross, was the model. #Santa #SantaClaus #SchoolhouseForArt #PJLynchArt #PJLynchGallery #OilPainting #PaintingFromLife

‘Kevin and the Blackbirds’ by David Almond and illustrated by me has been getting some amazing reviews recently. I loved this one by Betsy Bird in the School Library Journal. “That man could illustrate Apple copyright law and make it tantalizing.” 😂Thanks so much Betsy.

I speeded up my reading of ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas’ by Clement C Moore to fit the Twitter format and it works 100% better! I hope you’ll enjoy it but I don’t think I’ll be able to replicate the effect at live readings!😂

Here is the perfect snowy but not Christmas poem…“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” spoken by Robert Frost over my illustrations. This has gone a little bit viral with more than 300,000 views. I hope you enjoy it. #robertfrost #pjlynchart
