I dont know if anyone is doing the penguin design contest but either way here is a vast collection of book covers!

An Illustrated life

I recently bought this book: An Illustrated life and it's a really good book, showing the sketch book pages of lots of different illustrators, who use a wide range of media and styles.

It's really inspiring, and makes you want to keep your own sketchbook!

Children's Illustrator website.

http://www.childrensillustrators.com/content.cgi/index

A good website for children's Illustrators, different mediums, style, agents, interviews and more.

You can join, but it's about a $200 fee for the year, still interesting to look through.

At a loss at what to do between projects?
