kate bingaman-burt

more coolness here

joanna neborsky

like her style

tao nyeu

i know we've talked about her before. but i just love her work!
website.
the balloon journey might be my favorite.

inspiration

I went to BN today to look at graphic design and typeface books for inspirations for my letterpress class and could not help, but look at illustration books as well.
One of the people I've found is Daniel Egneus - Swedish, of course! [What is with me and Sweden? It's a magical country for me it seems!]
More of his work here.
[Also note the website design - I like!]

mini grey

I read about her online and got some of her books out of the library.  These images are from Egg Drop.  I really like the drawing, painting and collage thing she manages to pull off.

This is from Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast.
Made me think of you!

yunmee kyong

have you seen this? via IF blog
super inspiring, especially when she talks about her thoughts about taking up illustration late in life.

hanoch piven again.

(so sweet!  his voice is so amazing!  i think i'll try to get john to get this app so i can play with it.  or maybe i should just make real object collages of things.  hm...  will post pictures either way.)

kitty crowther

Is amazing!
She won the Astrid Lindgren award this year. But that's not why she is amazing.
Just look at these pictures! [sadly, cannot find much of her work online, and just the one book in English - she is Belgian, just like Mademoiselle Alemagne]

sara lundberg

So, I found this Swedish publisher [as you might know I am OBSESSED with Sweden.....] They have an amazing catalog and I wish I knew Swedish. Maybe I should learn.

But I also found this girl Sara Lundberg [again, Swedish, why don't I speak it????] - these are from her first book, but there are so many more here.

frank dormer

and i just found a fun blog he writes called curious pages, recommended inappropriate books for kids.

jon klassen

this guy is incredible!
had seen his work before, but can't remember if I sent it to you...

also, got the bologna 2008 catalog [yes, I know that was a few years ago, but I am playing catch up] and there are SO many amazing illustrators in there. will share in the next few days, once I've had a closer look.
