'Stories For Literature Lovers' picture book. Publisher: Alma
I was commissioned to illustrate a book of selected stories by renowned authors such as S.Zweig or V.Woolf. The common thread of the stories is the literary world in its broader sense. I made 14 illustrations (4 double and 10 single pages), cover, endpapers and some spot illustrations. As usual, the main challenge was to faithfully convey the spirit of the stories and my own creative voice.
