Let's Talk Illustrators #137: Clotilde Perrin

It was a total dream come true to talk to author, illustrator, and paper engineering ingenue Clotilde Perrin. The tone of Clotilde's work varies depending on the book she's illustrating, but my favorites tend to be her oversized books full of sinister characters with lots of places to hide their secrets. In today's interview we discussed The House of Madame M, another in a long line of Clotilde's mesmerizing and interactive books now available in English. Enjoy!
