Favorite illustrator:

Favorite illustrated book? Why:
Dragon Quest, illustrator Nick Harris – is something like a game book and maybe that's what got me interested in illustration. My favorite childhood memory is also the Bosco series, illustrated by Tony Wolf.
Which book do you dream of illustrating? Why:
Often, when I read, I feel the desire to illustrate what I've read. Of course, I can't think of any specific book right now, except maybe American Gods by Neil Gaiman.
