How to be an Explorer of the World - Keri Smith Super little book by Keri Smith which encourges people to explore the world around them and become more aware of the amazing things it contains. Inside the colour palette has been restricted to a simple Black, White and Orange which works especially well. There are a series of tasks to stimulate your creativity and get you looking at everyday items in different ways. Another key feature for illustration lovers is that the entire book is hand drawn & written. A brilliant little book that's worth seeking out. Published by Penguin / Particular books. Links |

A Book of Nonsense - Gabriella Barouch We were lucky enough to recieve a copy of Gabriella Barouch's latest publication - A Book of Nonsense featuring Limericks by Edward Lear. Gabriella illustrated the cover of Ammo issue 6 and we've received a huge amount of compliments about her creative, often surreal style. Her new book features absolutely beautiful artwork which compliments her chosen quotes perfectly. Not sure whether the book is officially for sale but we'd highly recommend contacting her to see if you can buy a copy. We've got high hopes for Gabriella and hope to see a lot more of her artwork Links |

Foxly's Feast - Owen Davey Foxly's Feast is a beautifully illustrated children's book by Owen Davey. Foxly is hunting for things to include in his feast. He visits the farmyard, the fish pond and the rabbit’s burrow. It looks like the animals are in danger, but there’s more to Foxly than meets the eye! This debut picture book is beautifully illustrated and was highly commended for the Macmillan Prize for illustration. Davey has created a luscious visual feast…with that certain retro/modern take, he pens Foxley and his potential supper finds with such finesse, visual pleasure is assured. Inked with that soft vintage colour that also has the curious capability to pop from the page, the illustrations are riddled with emotion, humour, texture and a balance that belies this author/illustrator’s age. |
