Kevin
Scott Collier -
Kevin's interpretation of the wild and wacky characters
in "Rattlesnake Jam" gives grandparents
a new persona. This rhyming tale slides beyond crazy,
thanks to Kevin's artwork - YEA! Visit "Rattlesnale
Jam" HERE
*Mustafa
Delioglu - a Turkish illustrator, and
artist of renown in Europe, immediately identified
with the spirit of "Kangaroo Clues."
I love how he infused an element of danger and mystery
into his illustrations.
NOTE:
If you like Mustafa's illustrations E-mail
him here This is Aytul's e-mail, because
she translates for him.
*Aysin
Eroglu - Another talented
illustrator from Turkey. Her art work for "Never
Say BOO to a Frilly," adds fun and drama
to my Aussie critters. Aysin is a celebrated illustrator
who has done work for UNICEF, and has her work in
European galleries. E-mail
OF INTEREST -
*Aytul
Akal
acted as English interpreter for both
the Turkish artists above. Without her generous
and insightful interaction, none of this would have
been possible. Aytul is also famous, in her own
part of the world, for her delightful children's
books, many of which are illustrated by Mustafa
Delioglu. I have some of her books in the English
translations, and they are simply wonderful. E-mail
