Here we have Dmitri once again. Yeah, I think he’s my favorite. Looking over these images again it occurs to me that all were meant to be spreads, which was exciting. The first book was printed in hardcover at 4′’x5′’ inches. Perfect for little hands, and I think these drawings would have looked great at a 5′’x8′’ spread. Seems more immersive to me - a format in which it’s a little easier to step into the world of the illustrations.
