A treasure trove of visual delights: examples of the sketchbooks of
sixty international illustrators offer new insights into their
artistic practice. Intimate and often unseen, the sketchbook means
something different to each illustrator. It might be a beautiful
object, a work of art in its own right, where every line is
painstakingly considered. It might be a pictorial playground, where
mistakes can make art. The boundaries between sketchbooks,
notebooks and visual journals are often blurred, lending to the
creativity that fills their pages. It is likely that you will
recognize many of the illustrators featured, including classic
childhood favourites Beatrix Potter, Jean de Brunhoff, Edward
Ardizzone and Tove Jansson, and established names such as Beatrice
Alemagna, Oliver Jeffers and Shaun Tan. Others are up-and-coming,
for example Charlotte Ager and Leah Yang. Martin Salisbury draws on
decades of experience as an illustrator and educator to shed light
on the lives and work of each artist. He even reveals pages from
his own sketchbooks, exposing the rawness of his ideas and the
narratives that surround them. As the reader will discover,
sketchbooks are often a fascinating and surprising window into the
mind of the illustrator.
