Title: Inside the imagination of a children's illustrator
Post by: ethan on June 22, 2014, 19:40
I saw this originally back in March when it was first posted, and during an insomniac period tonight (too hot and muggy) I watched it again. I hope it is of some interest to illustrators, which I am not btw, but still found it a good watch.

Cool stuff!

On a different note. Not very inspiring, but this is still my all time favorite...

I love that one. Perfect for this particular forum too, since they specifically mention illustration and photography.

Although with the way things have been going around here lately, maybe Aasif has a point. :)

She's great. I really admire artists who can paint in unique styles like this. It's easy to think that some of these childrens' book illustrators do such simple work, it often looks almost effortless. But if you actually ever try to do something that looks so effortless, then you know what it really takes to paint like that.

Lovely story about someone who clearly lives - and loves - her work. I hope she does well with the books, and possibly it'll lead to additional commissions or other ways for her to make a living from her work.

A great antidote to the business school approach to life :)
