A Solid Base

While I was doing research for an Illustration report I stumbled across some old illustrations that really took me back in time. The artist is none other than Graeme Base the illustrator and author of the hugely popular children's book, Animalia. 

No doubt many of you have owned or read Animalia at some stage. I fondly remember owning that particular title as well as several other Graeme Base picture books. Base has an amazing eye for detail and his illustrations are one of a kind. I especially love how he manages to hide animal faces and bodies in the line work of his illustrations, very clever.

Here are some of my favourites below. If you haven't already had a look at his work I suggest you check it out at www.graemebase.com
