Description

From pen to brush, from pencil to paint, from crayon and even to scissors, Illustrator Bob Staake never met a drawing implement he didn’t like, but for 3 decades his go-to illustration tool has been the computer. In a recent online interview, Drawn.ca suggested that “to say Bob Staake is just an illustrator is like saying ‘The Beatles’ were just a bunch of musicians; the title doesn’t do the artist justice.” One of the nation’s most prolific illustrators, he has authored and/or illustrated over 75 books, including The Donut Chef, Bluebird, Bugs Galore, Hello Robots, Look A Book, This Is Not A Pumpkin, Pets Go Pop, and others. The New York Times named his book The Red Lemon one of the 10 Best Illustrated Books of 2006.
