I was in our local bookstore the other day buying a gift, and couldn't resist getting this book for our own shelf: 'Seasons' by Blexbolex/ Albin Michel Jeunesse and reprinted by the NZ company Gecko Press. It's a seriously beautiful book, to hold and to look at, and has been enjoyed by Tom and I and the children equally. It's one of those children's books for grown-ups, or vice versa. The prints are quite simple, but I find the colours and textures of them unexpected and special, and the language that accompanies them to be thought-provoking. I've posted a few more pages from the book in my flickr stream, too.
I'm not sure how the prints are made- perhaps they're screen or block-printed- but having this book sitting on our coffee table has encouraged me to unpack our lino-cutting tools and make some prints of my own. Hope you have a great weekend, blog-friends.
