Likely we\u2019ve all experienced the sensation of being on the outside, to varying degrees, for varying reasons. But one of the gifts of a creative practice is the power of taking such moments and transforming them into something meaningful, even beautiful. I consider today\u2019s contributor, the bestselling author and illustrator Oliver Jeffers, a brilliant practitioner of this kind of alchemy. His searching gaze and illuminating insights have helped readers of all ages see things from a new perspective.

We can truly state that fashion illustrations are a form of art. I am always excited to see how my creations will be interpreted by the creative and unprejudiced hand of an increasingly growing number of young illustrators.
I am so happy to have been asked to participate in this year's FIDA competition. I have always believed in the art form known as illustration. Despite the fact that the world is so engaged in technology, for my money, nothing beats the artistry, elegance, and beauty of illustration. In recent years, because of the ongoing emphasis on technology, illustration may have been overshadowed, but thanks to the ongoing efforts of FIDA and it's support of the art of illustration and young illustrators worldwide, I believe we are on the precipice of a new and exciting renaissance in interest in illustration
