· Sharks | Robert Sabuda | @robertsabudareal
· Muhammad Ali | Brosmind | @brosmind
“ Very happy to here that it’s one of your picks. Regarding to your question, our favorite aspect of creating the book was learning about the inspirational life of Muhammad Ali. We of course knew about him before beginning the work on the illustrations, but the process made us dig deeper into some of the defining moments of his life, and that was very inspiring. “ -Alejandro
· What is a River? | Monika Vaicenaviciene | @monikavaicenaviciene
“My favourite aspect... Perhaps that I could find a home for all the river memories from my childhood - having a picnic on the riverside with my grandmother, listening to nightingales on warm afternoons, walking with my dog on foggy evenings - and sharing that feeling of wonder, of connection that a river brings, with others.” -Monika
· Lazlo Learns Recorder | Masha Klot | @mashaklot
· Over and Under | Christopher Neal | @csilasneal
“Rainforests are so lush and multilayered. One of my favorite parts of making this art was finding ways to use texture and color to bring those layers to the pages of our book. Oh, and getting to draw a large mama sloth was a definite highlight.” -Christopher
· 50 States | Sol Linero | @sol.linero
· Stevie Wonder | Melissa Johnson | @sauceboss_666
My favorite part was probably doing visual research for the illustration. So that’s means looking at lots of photos of Stevie wonder’s various hairstyles, outfits, etc. He has sooo many cool looks over the years. I also liked learning about the different styles of furniture and decor, as well as learning about other Motown artists. An illustration I did featured Motown poster designs based on real Motown posters! I guess I’m a big nerd but I always love “art within art” moments. -Melissa
