It's lovely to see how the books developed from the initial ideas, to your early sketches through to the beautiful artwork. And it's always good to have a little reminder about how long things can take to germinate - thank you for sharing!
Thank you Fiona for this fascinating insight into your process.. yes and how long it can take! Love how your strong images work with words in so many unexpected ways. Thanks for the link too - makes me want to re-read Tove Jansson’s The Summer Book asap!
Thanks Bridget! Funnily enough, once I was working with the publisher, they were both quite quick books to make, just a long gestation period! : ) Yes I really want to re-read The Summer Book too. It had a real impact on me the first time!

I loved reading this and finding out about where Look and Hello started. They are so full of joy and beautiful design.
Thanks Charlotte, I'm glad you enjoyed it! : )
Hi Chris, thank you so much Mr! Useful for me to remember how books come together, as they're all so different! : )
