Luke Pearson is an illustrator I've heard about previously but never truly looked into the work of. I took this book out of the library because I'd seen his character Hilda in an illustration magazine before; his quirky and authentic use of character was something I was interested in seeing more of, and I'd never previously looked at Nobrow Press' graphic novels either.
This book has single handedly opened my eyes to the wondrous beauty of not only Luke Pearson's illustrations but Nobrow Press in general. I fell in love with this book not only due to the craft and artistry of each panel and individual illustration but with the way they exuded humour, character and overall lovability. From the composition and brilliant background and landscapes, all the way down to the tiny details in a facial expression to compliment the speech, this book was a joy to both read and appreciate artistically. I will surely be looking at more Nobrow Press//Luke Pearson books in the furutre.
