Serge Bloch

I have recently been looking at illustrators who create original children’s books. I would like to include some original ideas in my designs so I think it will be useful to look at other illustrators who have done this. Serge Bloch is a French illustrator who creates work for a number of American newspapers as well as children’s books. The images shown above are from a book called I Can’t Wait which is written by Davide Cali. The book is aimed towards people of all ages and shows the rhythm of life played out by Serge Bloch’s drawings and a piece of red string. Although stylistically my work is very different from his I feel I can learn from the original ideas used in Serge Bloch’s work, I also like the clever compositions he uses to tell the story.
