Monday hero: Józef Wilkon

This weekend I accompanied Koos (Meinderts) to the Kinder- und Jugendbuch Messe in Saarbrücken, Germany.

The title of the bookfair was friendship, and they chose the illustration top left, by Józef Wilkon as their logo.

It is from the book Leopanther, which I bought immediately.

Józef Wilkon (1930) is a Polish illustrator. His work has a beautiful atmosphere, and great textures.

Something for me to drool over and learn from!
