I am a crazy avid reader. I get anxiety when I am on the subway and realize I left my book at home. The idea of just sitting and doing nothing for the 20 minute ride drives me nuts! So needless to say, I like myself a good book. Maybe it’s my illustration background but I am always drawn {ha, no pun intended} to books by their cover art. That is how I fell in love with the “Tales of the City” series. Their art is right up my alley- sketchy line work with haphazard color. I picked up the first book while in San Fran {appropriate since the series takes place there} and devoured it right away. I then went on a seven book tear and went through the series in a matter of weeks. Now I have them all on my shelf lined up with their lovely art looking out at me. What makes this series and it’s art even more interesting is that it’s all connected. Each book, when lined up next to one another, creates one continuous scene of San Francisco. So creative!
