Kids Books - Blog Posts

so I went to a book store and yeah...

It's basically a kid's book about rock music, but first of all, they pulled a Michael Jackson on Slash and I almost died laughing when I saw the way they drew the Ramones, Axl and Jon Bon Jovi. But nevermind my kid will be getting this shit (if I'll ever get a kid)

Illustration’s by William Wallace Denslow(1856-1915) for his book Denslow’s Mother Goose.He’s probably best known as the illustrator for L.Frank Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” .Denslow is such a fascinating artist to me for his time his drawings look pretty modern the limited colors,minimalist backgrounds, bold choices like just having a shape as a background,and his cartoonish thick outlined designs are pretty graphically ahead in kids book illustration for the early 1900s shame he didn’t illustrate the other Oz books don’t get me wrong I love John R Neil but Denslows art just has a odd charm to it I want to see in the other Oz books.
