You have to know that a couple of my friends, Elena and Sergio, has a nice little bookshop called "Les bouquinistes" in my city and so, everytime I visit their shop they show me some beautiful illustrative books just arrived on their shelves ^_^
They perfectly know that I like to collect them and sometimes I joke to them saying they are "bad friends" because they always tempt me with many wonderful books :D They are really nice persons and they know me very well, so everytime there is a book that they think I could love, they show me first of all.
Yesterday I bought this beautiful book by Shoun Tan, an artist that I love so much. Every scenes painted by him tell us many different stories and his techniques is really "wow!".
For me, it's a pleasure to watch the illustrations on the illustrative books and it's also a way to improve my skills observing how the artists that I love was working.
Collecting these books is like to have a little paper gallery of artworks at home and everytime I add something new it's a party!
See ya soon
Silvia
