Jillian Tamaki

Jillian Tamaki is a Canadian illustrator and cartoonist living in Brooklyn, NY. She is also a teacher at the School of Visual Arts in New York. Lucky students.

Jillian’s client list is impressive as well as her work, especially the personal work in my opinion (the quilt in this post for example).

Children’s book 10 – KLOT-NALLE

Will you mangage more children’s books? This one “Klot-Nalle”, written by Josef Menzel, has pictures by Czech Jiří Trnka. Jiří was a puppet maker, motion-picture animator, film director and illustrator. There is a bunch of nice You Tubes out there if you are interested. “Most of his movies were intended for adults, and many of them were adaptations of literary works of Czech authors or foreigners. Because of his influence in animation, he was called “the Walt Disney of Eastern Europe”.

Visited Gothenburgs best playground yesterday.

Molly & Sus

A few times I have been privileged enough to oppose on students’ work at HDK – School of Design and Crafts in Gothenburg/Sweden. The same school I studied design for 5 years. Last year I had the opportunity to meet talented illustrator Klara Persson who had made this children’s book, Molly & Sus as an degree project.

The other day I got a parcel in the mail. It was Klara‘s book. Printed! The book will be availble at Urax publishing house in September 2012.

It’s a story of two sisters who are stuck together through their braids. About awakening, and realization of independence.

Look at the tone in the images. The unsteady skewness and the color scale. Fabulous.
