Following the success of part one, thirteen more world-class picturebook makers share their processes, inspire us with stunning illustrations, and demonstrate the immense creative potential of this unique and dynamic art form.
Far from being simple, picturebook creation can be a complex, lengthy and enigmatic process. Part two of the Picturebook Makers series once again gives voice to much-loved international picturebook artists.
The intimate talks with the creators allow us to not only discover the myriad of ways in which the initial idea for a picturebook can arise, but also the wildly different creative processes which inform the development of each work. As Meghan Cox Gurdon observes in her review of Picturebook Makers in The Wall Street Journal: “There’s mystery in the process and, with luck, magic in the outcome.”
Featuring Carson Ellis, Axel Scheffler, Anna Höglund, Sydney Smith, Kristin Roskifte, André Letria, Issa Watanabe, Valerio Vidali & Violeta Lópiz, Anete Melece, Vincent Pianina, Marika Maijala, and Jimmy Liao.
