Pauline Baynes

In my mind one of the best illustrators in the world... I think her line drawings are better than her color work, but that too is wonderful... I wish I could... She died 2 years ago, and I still cry floods.

BTW, Paula Rego's painting from Tove Jansson post reminds very much of Pauline Baynes too...

P.s. Somewhat similar is Olaf Hajek's cover for The Magician's Book
