“Fowl With Pearls” by Michael Sowa. I own a few of this German artist’s prints as well as a book called “Little King December”. Sowa also did the art direction for Amelie. This guy is incredible.

Graham Roumieu

“Bigfoot Scull” by Graham Roumieu. Author of such insta-classics as “Me Write Book, It Bigfoot Memoir”, “A Really Super Book About Squirrels” and “Cat and Gnome” this busy Canadian illustrator has a knack for the absurdly funny.

 

Shaun Tan

My parents gave me Shaun Tan’s book “The Arrival” and I returned the favor by purchasing them a print from Books of Wonder here in the City. (One of the few places in the world this Korean-Australian artist’s work can be bought.) If you haven’t checked out “The Arrival”, you must; it will change your life, says I.

You May Notice a Theme...

…I have a penchant for the absurd.
