Eunyoung Seo - BRAND NEW WORK! The Shrew That Flew!

Check out the brand new Harry & Lil book from Faber & Faber... illustrated by the fabulous Eunyoung Seo! It is the third instalment of this successful series of stories written by Julia Copus.

One Saturday, in the middle of June,
one bright and windy afternoon,

all the creatures by Piggyback Wood
were getting ready - as fast as they could.

There was only a short time left to prepare
for the birthday party at Badger's lair.

Badger's having a birthday party and Harry and Lil are getting ready, but just as Lil is getting her favourite hat off the washing line to wear, it blows away. Harry says it's gone for good, but Lil says you should never say never "if birds can fly, shrews can, too". An umbrella doesn't work, nor does a fan... and then Deer comes along with a big green balloon!

The wonderful world of Eunyoung Seo!

Today we are celebrating the wonderful work of Korean artist Eunyoung Seo!

She had worked as a graphic designer for eight years in Korea before coming over to Edinburgh to study illustration for changing her career. She studied MA Illustration at The University of Edinburgh, where she graduates first in her class in 2012. 

Since joining us, she has bagged a gorgeous series of books, published by Faber children's publishing, telling the charming tales of Harry and Lil. 'Hog in the fog' and 'The Hog, the Shrew, and the Hullabaloo' are stunning, with Eunyoung's nod to traditional illustrations of the past, she has created these modern classics for a new generation. The third book is on the way too, so look out for that!

She has also produced her unique and creative version of Alice in Wonderland, which is delightful to see.

To put it simply, we are in love with her work!
