Aurelie Guillerey and Akemi Tezuka Childrens’ Illustrators

Today, you lucky people, I bring you not one, but two illustrators, who both create with children in mind !

The first is Aurelie Guillerey who has a fun, colourful style, which is perfect for a children’s illustrator.

She has a vivid imagination and her characters are always happy, her work reminds me in style a little

of Alain Gree, another french artist from the 1960’s and 70’s.

Even her dragons don’t feel too menacing….. but then again it is still light outside !

There’s a greater insight into Aurelies’ life in this translated interview here.

Akemi Tezuka is a  similar Illustrator from Japan, whos’ work is even more like Alain Gree.

She has cleverly cornered the market for picture dictionaries for both Japanese to English and French.

Great work, colouration and style.
