The Images of Imagination 2013

On Sunday we went at the exhibition of Illustration for Children (The Images of Imagination 2013) in Sarmede. Every year there are drawings by illustrators from all over the world and is a special occasion for children and adults. The country is small and charming. Stefan Zavrel lived there, so the exhibition takes place in this litlle town, in memory of him. Obviously I and Mr. Moustache, we have bought a lot of wonderful books, which surely will read to our baby! Here's a few of illustrators we love.

Simona Mulazzani, Il Grande libro dei pisolini. Topipittori Editore
Laurent Moreau, A che pensi?. OrecchioAcerbo Editore
Camilla Engman, C'era una volta una storia.
Marco Somà, La Regina delle Rane. Kitè Edizioni
Paloma Valdivia, Dormi Negrito!

HOME LIFE IN AMERICA in 40's / Old Illustrations

From the mid-forties the United States Brewers Foundation ran a series of ads in the weekly and monthly consumer magazines to promote beer drinking at home. The ads were called Home life in America and each featured an illustration of white middle-class folks having a good time…thanks to the beverage of moderation. The leading commercial artists of the times were used including Douglas Crockwell (he did seventy paintings) Steven Dohanos, Haddon Sundblom, Mead Schaeffer, John Gannam, Fred Siebel, Pruett Carter, Ray Prohaska, Austin Briggs and Glenn Crober.

CEREN KILIC Illustrations

Perfect for my blog!

Ceren Kilic is a mixed media artist and graphic designer currently living and working in Istanbul, Turkey. Her work  is so much influenced by the contrast between solid look of the future and the sophisticated way of living of the past.Her inspiration comes from old french movies, people in the 50s and 60s, geometry, celestial objects (such as stars, nebulae, galaxies),landscapes and mineralogy.In her work you can see her dreams and maybe the reflection of the paralel universe!

Stepan Zavrel

When I was young I met Stepan in his home. It was an amazing house on a hill, I remember the painted bathroom outside the house into the bush! He was very kindly and show to me and my sister, his school of illustration for young. We were confused because of our future, so distant to reality and now, Stepan isn't there but in the sky and I would like to tell him "thank you for your idea of freedom".

Stepan (1932-1999) is a Czech illustrator who escaped from communist czechloslovakia to live in Italy. Later he established one of the biggest centers for children's book illustration in a village around 60 km from Venice, where they have a huge festival every year! info


His work is very lyrical and fantastic watercolors, and his shape and design, are really powerful.
