When I was a kid we used to work on puzzles with my grandparents each time we came for a visit. It was a nice thing to have set up in a spare room like my grandmother's screened porch on the east end of Long Island, New York or her condominium in Florida. 

I've loved Charley Harper since I discovered his work via subway tile. It'd be fun to work on any one of these 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles: Mystery of the Missing Migrants puzzle, Rocky Mountains puzzle, and Glacier Bay, Alaska puzzle.

The Selby illustrates the very fashionable zoological set wearing this season's fashions for Dossier magazine. Love!

His style kind of reminds me of Jean-Philippe Delhomme.

I was clicking through the NYTimes today and found Maira Kalman's Op-Ed called "In Love with Lincoln" detailing her trip to the Rosenbach Museum in Philadelphia to look through the Lincoln Archive. I have Maira Kalman's book "The Principles of Uncertainty;" her illustrations never cease to inspire me. Check it out here.

Jean-Philippe Delhomme

An intimate look at the very chic and jocular musings of a master fashion and lifestyle illustrator.

The stoke of his brush is almost as sharp as his wit, but the result is always playful and spectacular. Jean-Philippe Delhomme is a prolific name in the world of illustration often described as the French answer to the cartoons that appear in the New Yorker. His work is world-renown in a range of media—from chic print ads for Saab to the latest in boutique campaigns for Barney’s and fashion advertising.

Drawing from the trials of modern society—the design addict cautiously circling the latest modern furniture piece in an upscale boutique or the urbane sophisticate offering a live chicken as a museum showpiece to his child—Delhomme finds the humor in all that surrounds him. It is no surprise with the charm and quick-wit of his illustrations that he finds his work in high-demand.

Jean-Philippe Delhomme has created volumes of illustrated work, animated television commercials, as well as having written a childrens’ book Visit to Another Planet alongside two fully-illustrated novels. He delights in his children and his studio on the Left Bank in Paris.
