Illustrated: A Few of my Favorites Books
Another video!!! I’m still trying to figure out how to edit using Movie Maker, it’s not the greatest of programs but I manage. I remember older versions allowing more freedom than this windows 8 version. The sound gets a bit low in some areas but luckily it doesn’t really happen until the end.
Books that I mention in the video:
- Coraline by Neil Gaiman illustrated by P. Craig Russell (graphic novel)
- Coraline by Neil Gaiman illustrated by Dave McKean
- Mirrormask by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean
- Slog’s Dad by David Almond and illustrated by Dave McKean
- The Unruly Alphabet by Aaron McKinney
- IRL by Cory Doctorow and Jen Wang
- Anya’s Ghost by Vera Brosgol
- Jinchalo by Matthew Forsythe
I’m pretty picky when it comes to art styles, and I might have been a bit harsh when it came to P. Craig Russell’s style of art. It’s just not the type of style I like. My tastes rage from super cute and colorful to gritty and a bit creepy. It might be the way it’s colored, so it might be the colorists fault for why it doesn’t sit well with me. But don’t let my opinion change yours, this is just my opinion and tastes.
I’m thinking of making this a series, we shall see.
Thanks for reading
