Let's Talk Illustrators #196: Samantha Cotterill

I was so lucky to get a chance to chat with one of the most versatile illustrators I've ever met, Samantha Cotterill! If you take a look at Samantha's body of work, it's clear she works hard to create a unique illustration experience based on the tone of the text she's illustrating, and Thankful was created in her incredible diorama style (one of my favorites!). Samantha let me pick her brain, and our chat is below--enjoy!

Let's Talk Illustrators #157: Naoko Stoop

I was so excited to talk to Naoko Stoop, illustrator of Yumi Heo's last book Sun and Moon Have a Tea Party. Naoko's illustrations in this book are so sweet and very uniquely made, but I'll let her reveal the details below. Take a closer look at this beautiful book with me!

Let's Talk Illustrators #145: Olaf Hajek

Olaf Hajek's illustrations in Flower Power: The Magic of Nature's Healers, written by Christine Paxmann, are downright magical. There is such a strong feeling of magic embedded in the floral portraits that the border between reality and fantasy becomes delightfully blurred and open to imagination. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Olaf!
