For anyone interested in children’s book illustration, this month is a milestone because Picturing Canada: A History of Children’s Illustrated Books and Publishing has finally been released by the University of Toronto Press . It’s the fruit of 11 years of research by Gail Edwards and Judith Saltman, plus their hordes of graduate students from the University of British Columbia. While there are about 60 reproductions of illustrations in this book, it is a scholarly study rather than a coffee-table book – but it is very readable and not boring in the least if you’re at all interested in the topic.

email from phil: you gals ever do film reviews? saw “exit through the gift shop” at the ritz the other night. i haven’t seen such a bummer movie since requiem for a dream! if you get a chance go see that one with love, The subject of Exit Through the Gift Shop with one of his artworks behind him. image from http://www.flickr.com/photos/catheadsix/2592349164/in/set-72157605716679140/ Phil got it right.
