Tailpiece for The Night Before Christmas, by Clement C. Moore, published by Walker Books, 2007 .

You can see two views of the pop-up at the end of the book here: [link] .

Scanned from actual book page. The original silhouettes were drawn in black ink and gouache.

The jacket and two other illustrations from the book are here:

This book (my fourth) has done so well, completely to my astonishment. There are three co-editions: US, published by Candlewick Press; French, published by Editions Milan; and Japanese (I'm afraid I don't know the publisher's name for this...) The Golden Treasury Bookshop in Southwest London even reproduced the silhouettes for their window display last year: [link] .
This was also the first book I've illustrated to have earned me royalties. It was all quite bewildering...

Merry Christmas, all!

What a delight this is! All this inventing, this producing, takes place in a pleasing, lively dream.

Your art is amazing, I'm startled you don't get royalties more often. This is utterly beautiful.

The window silhouettes are beautiful! And believe me, I understand why this book did so well. I loved it when I finally got to look through it in person! I love the way the cat and dog interact throughout too :)

The dresses are just gorgeus, especially the underwear of the little girl and the white apron of the chambermaid ^^
