My post from two weeks ago (Zines for Kids), featured a number of zines from people that are working in picture books. Today’s zine is also from a kidlit creator, none other than Andrea Tsurumi!
This zine is in this state because my kids took it into the bath one time. That’s how much we love Andrea’s work in this house.
Personally, I’ve been a fan of Andrea’s work since NOT YOUR NEST, the art for which reminded me of a mashup between Wallace Tripp and Benjamin Chaud. Andrea, like Tripp, carefully observes their subjects, and like Chaud, renders them with a wonderfully loose but deliberate pencil line. Just look:
Anyway, I’d take any chance to promote Andrea’s work but this week I get to show off this zine AND boost Andrea’s latest POP! GOES THE NURSERY RHYME (written by Betsy Bird!).
Mine’s on order. You can get yours at your local indie.
update: Holy Moly! I only *just* now remembered… I have a zine with a secretary bird on the cover!! I need to dig that up.
