They are an utterly astounding husband and wife team from Russia working in Germany that have illustrated a number of books. Dugina and Dugin do work that is truly beyond belief.kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157191667153531127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347683455597417526.post-57326629616796425962010-12-08T05:14:22.994-08:002010-12-08T05:14:22.994-08:00Thomas,

As I used to do with Frazetta, I've often bought books just because the cover was by Leo and Diane. I have many of their gorgeous children's books. (Why is it assumed that, once we're no longer children, we have no interest in such profusely illustrated visual feasts?) I enjoy their rich patterning even more than I do that of Klimt.<br /><br />GlenGlen Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00921709869492451751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347683455597417526.post-33016878663482915442010-12-07T20:50:17.020-08:002010-12-07T20:50:17.020-08:00Hi Thom,

It's one of the joys of being a youth services librarian, though I collected children's book before I became one, and even before my son was born. I love their picture books, and the cover art they did for a young adult fantasy series by Garth Nix: The Abhorsen Trilogy. I heard James Ransome speak once at a library conference. His paintings are realistic, and I was impressed learning about his working methods. I wrote about his talk at my site. He also collaborates sometimes with his wife, illustrating books she's written, with her input.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588164536314320479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347683455597417526.post-41010153432800434192010-12-07T17:34:22.890-08:002010-12-07T17:34:22.890-08:00Oh, too cool.
