Jacquie O'Neill turned her passion for fashion, figure drawing and the dream
of seeing her illustrations on covers in high street bookshops, packages in
retailers and filling the pages of the magazines at news stands, into reality
over the last two decades. Originally running her illustration studio in
Chiswick, London Jacquie created characters for projects ranging from the
Cannes Film Festival, World Rally Championships, a series of illustrated
families for British Rail's Group Save Campaign that are on platforms from
Waterloo to Edinburgh, and Headmasters Hair's youthful sassy Poppy
character that adorns their window posters, billboards and ads on buses and
taxis.

Jacquie then moved her family and studio to the beautiful Cornish Coast, a
stones throw from Padstow, Rock, Polzeath and the amazing Watergate Bay.
At the same time she won with her first children's commission from Harper
Collins to illustrate the Meg Cabot series 1-800-Where-R-You for the
American market. This then led to a complete a range of girls cards for
SoulTrader UK, closely followed by commissions from Eaglemoss for the
Barbie partwork magazine, Warner Entertainment for the Love:Ballet CD and
for Dreamworks' KungFu Panda Flash game for Nickelodeon. 2010 will mark
the worldwide launch of the Reebok Girls 'Sweet and Spice' Campaign
throughout shops, advertising and editorials across the globe.

She has just recently completed the illustrations for the Penguin Young
Readers Figure Skating Sticker Stories book which will be out in January 2010
to coincide with the Winter Olympics.

With four daughters and a husband who loves children's stories and
animation, Jacquie is no stranger to children's picture books. Jacquie received
the registered trademark for her character Budabebe a bendy little girl
making her first appearance in a children's book series including Rainbow
Breath a kids yoga book and Chitta Chattra a story for children to learn about
the nature of cause and effect, that every action, good or bad, has a
consequence. The Budabebe children's book series is currently under
consideration for worldwide publishing rights with an American publishing
house.

Jacquie is available for commissions - please contact her via email or
telephone, she looks forward to talking with you.
