Pari - II
sabato, 4 aprile 2026
The inspiration for this new approach towards illustrating Pari came about in a somewhat unexpected and convoluted manner — which is typical for artistic inspiration. After having several conversations about my renditions of Leo, the Pomeranian, my friend Lizzie remarked that the illustrations reminded her of Richard Scarry. I was stunned, especially since I had purchased several Richard Scarry books for my niece for her birthday several months ago. I remembered how he had layered "Busytown" throughout his children's books — so I decided to see what would happen if I adopted this approach to the medieval Italian village of Pari.
