| Abstract: | This paper recounts the personal creative experiences of an author/illustrator of picture books for children. In the paper the author/illustrator tells how he works: he gets the words into a more or less finished form before starting to draw the pictures, and then moves on to a process of elimination and continual return to the text. The paper also discusses using "found" texts, or stories that are already in existence, such as nursery rhymes. The author/illustrator's picture book "The House That Jack Built" (1999) is used to show the creative process that is employed, and excerpts from an interview are reproduced to explain a particular page in the picture book.
