If You Don't Know, Then I'm Not Telling You...

Alright fine...you've beat it out of me. It's no secret, really.  The illustrations of Jon Klassen are great. At least. The worst illustrations are great. The great illustrations are Scrumtrelescent.  Here's a little peek at his latest:You  must go immediately to www.BurstofBeaden.com and view the entire portfolio. The overlapping, translucent textures and neutral colorscheme creates a complex tone of mystery, fantasy, realism, humor, and melancholy that left me quite awed.  If I could be good at art, this is exactly the kind of art I'd like to be good at. I hope you don't mind, Mr. Klassen, if I overtly steal your style and execute it in a much poorer capacity.  The beauty of this work (other than y'know...the way it looks) is that it is just as likely to be found in a children's book as it is a museum and it would seem perfectly appropriate at either locale.  All you typography groupies will certainly enjoy Storming the Capital, one of the few good types of puns in the world.
