On this edition of Just One More Book!!, Mark speaks with computer artist, illustrator and author, Bob Staake about the role of children’s books in his childhood, how his energy and style helps him produce a picture book in a week and the important relationship of words and images.

I was thrilled to see Bob as a featured interview this morning. He’s one of my favorite editorial/children’s book illustrators. His speed of working is pretty amazing as is not using any rough sketches. Great hearing how his mind works when approaching a project.

I’ve met Bob at our conventions a few times…. Bob knows I like his wife much better, haha.
Kidding, he’s one of the good guy (in a weird, cartoonist sort of way:)
How cool for you both to be “captured” on paper and to know own a “BOB”!
