Page Flipper

I read, I promise. Kind of. Sure, Gravity's Rainbow and any Soren Kierkegaard book is good. But I've become assured that my impulsive pleasure goes directly to illustrations. I have more kid's books than any novel probably worth reading on my shelves. Out of everyone though, I am afraid, that Burkert and Shepard have stolen my heart with their beautiful tones. Burkert's renaissance references and perfectly lined drawings never escape my mind and Shepard's whimsical hand with the "I can't quite describe it" colors are wonderful.
