Sara Fanelli is a book illustrator, designer and artist, she has designed children's books for Tate Modern, posters and postage stamps to name but a few. In 2006 she was awarded an honorary RDI (royal designer for industry) the first woman illustrator to receive this honour. I really enjoy her off beat sense of humour and quirky approach.
Pages from her book 'Dog Life'.
I have been collecting her books for a few years now but the early ones are becoming very expensive and harder to find, so if you like her work and come across one in a charity shop or other source, don't hesitate, just buy it.
Butterfly Aeroplane. From the book 'First Flight'.
Pinocchio.
Design for a UK stamp.
Images from 'Dear Diary'.
This is another great book that children (and me) really enjoy.
I hope that you have enjoyed the work as much as I have revisiting it, to see a larger view just click on the images. If you want to see more of her work or just to find out more about her visit her website www.sarafanelli.com
