thanks sofialuv!

sad story, tinuviel...and that happens so often.

but i read about andersen recently that though he was the most wealthy man after some hard time in his life...children from all over the world kept sending him dollars because he always depicted himself as 'the poor storyteller'!

i forgot tomi ungerer:

A little simple, perhaps, but I have always found these drawings by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (from The Little Prince) to be sweet, heartbreaking, and nostalgic all at the same time.

"Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them."

^ Can't see the pics, is it just me? I know them very well though, the Little Prince was one of my favourite childhood books! When I first read it I was amazed at his talent, gifted storyteller and illustrator.

Has anyone noticed the artwork in The Royal Tenenbaums? I think it was by Wes Anderson's brother, Eric Chase Anderson.
I love his work and it reminded me of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's illustrations. Wish I could find more of it.

Estella* · 25-05-2005

i did notice them and i love them

, thanks for reminding, tinuviel!
i can't see the prince pictures either, but i know them of course, simplicity is a good thing

Tinuviel · 25-05-2005

You're welcome.

Here's an artist I wanted to add before but it's sooo hard to find pictures of his older work and my scanner is crap.

Jan Pienkowski: "He co-founded the greetings card company, Gallery Five. He worked in advertising, publishing, and doing graphics for the BBC children's TV series Watch! In his spare time, he started to illustrate books for children. The books took over. He won the Library Association Kate Greenaway Medal in 1972 for his silhouette illustrations to Joan Aiken's The Kingdom Under The Sea and again in 1980 for Haunted House. He was to use his silhouette technique to dramatic effect in other books like the Fairytale Library.
Jan pioneered the modern Pop-up book with Haunted House (subsequently on CD-Rom), Robot, Dinner Time, Good Night and 17 others. Christmas Kingdom, Phone Book and Door Bell added sound effects while Botticelli's Bed and Breakfast capers irreverently through the history of western art." www.janpienkowski.com

Love love love his silhouette and color illustrations for Joan Aiken.

From A Necklace of Raindrops:

Tinuviel · 25-05-2005

The Kingdom Under The Sea

Another version of Necklace of raindrops

Cinderella & Snow White

The best ones are from Tales Of A One Way Street also by Aiken, hopefully I can find them some other time.
