6. I Wish I Had...

Last summer Shelley featured the work of Simona Mulazzani. Today I received a review copy of I Wish I Had... illustrated by Simona Mulazzani. Written by Giovanna Zoboli, I Wish I Had... was originally published in Italy.

Mulazzani's jungle plants and cats, with their lush decorative color and smooth shapes, remind me of Henri Rousseau. Both text and illustration are evocative and playful. The illustrations match a variety specific wishes for the talents or qualities of various animals, from the eyes of a blackbird to see every blade of grass, to the contentment of a dog in winter when the snow falls outside. A little bonus comes with the endpapers, made from drafts and sketches of interior illustrations. Altogether stylish and fun to study, I Wish I Had... is a beautiful pairing of words and pictures.

Thank you to Eerdmans Publishing.

Woodland Wiggle from Nexus on Vimeo.
‘Woodland Wiggle’ is a pioneering interactive game displayed on a television the size of a room. It allows children to enter into a storybook illustrated world enabling them to paint; play music; and trigger sun, rain, snow and rainbows with animated animal characters across a number of woodland scenes.

JacketFlap tags: Anorak Magazine, Cathy Olmedillas, Add a tag

Cathy Olmedillas has created a wonderful publication for children, Anorak Magazine. Published in the U.K since 2006, it will have a North American edition some time this year. Chock full of terrific art from a wide number of illustrators, it's delectable for everyone, not just the kids. Time Magazine says it's 'created for children as a riposte to the commercialization found in mainstream kid's magazines'...

Tyler Brulé of The Stack (his new radio programme dedicated to independent magazines) interviewed Cathy in December, which you can listen to here...
