Charles Harper, illustrator - 1922-2007. "I don't count all the feathers, I just count the number of wings"... what a quote. Symmetry and simplicity. I very much like his work. Yes, the symmetries are setup and very stylized, but i like how he gets his point across about the re-occuring patterns within nature... and of course the works are just a pleasure to the eye. I've parked a heap of his illustrations here. Richard Scarry, eat yr heart out. This is what children's book illustrations should all be like.

thank you - I have really enjoyed your posts - and also all your images on flikr - especially from Fiona's install - we are painting at the moment and it has given me lots to think about behind the roller
yr welcome - yes install photos are hard to remember to take, but *so* revealing - its great to have a record of the process...
