Shawn CreedenThis year, my 2009 calendar will be from Shawn Creeden's illustrations. It's the first time he has done a calendar! His work is sort of a warped Beatrix Potter/Encyclopedia Britannica imagery of peculiar, but familiar little animals. If you check out his blog you can see he does pretty extensive research on his critters but still manages to give them unique personalities. They make me smile, even when they are without eyes or barring their teeth. I do realize they fit into this, "big paper, little drawing" fad happening right now- (as Tim Rogers of the NM Museum of Art recently said to me). They work really well with his books, so be sure to check those out as well. Any man who can embroider snuggling whales is alright in my book.
