Favorite illustrated book?
Books with illustrations by Lyuben Zidarov are my favorite childhood memories, as well as books with Russian fairy tales. And now there are great children's books with fairy tale illustrations and I always look at them when I enter a bookstore, but I have a hard time remembering the names of all of them…
Which book do you dream of illustrating? I haven't thought in that direction…. there are texts that have a very strong impact on me and illustrations are born from them, but I didn't draw them with the aim of being part of the book itself, they just come spontaneously, under the influence of the emotion that the text provokes…
