A nostalgic fairytale for adults
As illustrator and book designer, I surround myself with wonderful books with beautiful illustrations by which I love to be inspired.

The book ‘Ballad’ (Een sprookje (nl)) by the French artist Blexbolex feels very compact and tactile in your hands. It is not large in terms of dimensions, but it certainly has volume. The paper of the cover is slightly embossed with ribs and is not laminated (fortunately). No layer of plastic between the reader and the paper.
