Let's Talk Illustrators #230: Jed Alexander

Jed Alexander's wordless book Red has been on my list of favorite Red Riding Hood books since it published, so when I heard that he was publishing a companion book, Gold, I was very keen to talk to him and learn more about his process. I hope you enjoy learning about these wordless books (and what Jed has in store for us next!).
