Artist Oliver Jeffers gives readers an unprecedented and intimate
window into his creative process, weaving his popular works with
never-before-seen art and illustrations, alongside his personal story of
how he came to art, his love of books, and his bookmaking, fashioned
from his personal sketchbooks.
This dynamic visual biography is Jeffers's personal chronicle of an
artist who blends his love of creating stories with his love of art and
his infectious charm, and is a must-have for art lovers and bibliophiles
both young and old.
Oliver Jeffers takes a dive into Oliver's own origin story,
inspirations, art evolution, and passion for storytelling: from growing
up loving art and creating stories as a young boy in Belfast, Ireland;
to finding a huge audience for his loveable stories; to what led him to
his enormously clever found painting; to his collaborations with U2,
TED, Colette, and Apple, to his newest meditative dipped painting
performances. Oliver Jeffers is a fresh canvas for his imagination,
and includes a pass through his most popular work,
never-before-published illustrations and art, and a look into his more
personal world of sketchbooks and doodles. Oliver's own story, infused
with the whimsy and joy his work is famous for, is must-have not only
for current fans of Oliver Jeffers's picture books, but also new fans,
art lovers, and bibliophiles both young and old.
