Illustration Next by Ana Benaroya.
This book examines contemporary illustration by pairing up illustrators to address an assigned theme and collaborate in the process. My theme with Josephin Ritschel of Germany was EXCESS. We each chose a kind of excess [me: excess of the body, her: excess of collecting], created a piece on our chosen direction, then did a piece on the other persons direction. This is my excessive collector, a young connoisseur and her dishes.
“The Connoisseur” was selected for inclusion in the Society of Illustrators annual exhibition and companion publication, Illustrators 55.
