Tailpiece for The Night Before Christmas, by Clement C. Moore, published by Walker Books, 2007 .

You can see two views of the pop-up at the end of the book here: [link] .

Scanned from actual book page. The original silhouettes were drawn in black ink and gouache.

The jacket and two other illustrations from the book are here:

__________________________________

This book (my fourth) has done so well, completely to my astonishment. There are three co-editions: US, published by Candlewick Press; French, published by Editions Milan; and Japanese (I'm afraid I don't know the publisher's name for this...) The Golden Treasury Bookshop in Southwest London even reproduced the silhouettes for their window display last year: [link] .
This was also the first book I've illustrated to have earned me royalties. It was all quite bewildering...

Merry Christmas, all!

A great work in which I rediscover my childhood and the breath Lotte Reiniger in him.
I bow!!

It's amazing how much joy and excitement can be in just the gestures and outlines of people if captured with skill!

I came across this the other day at the bookstore and thought, "Why, this person is imitating Himmapaan's style on dA!"

Imagine my surprise when I found out it actually WAS you...

I found this book on the shelf and fell so in love with it I would not put it down, my daddy had to buy it for me lol! But the family read it this christmas eve, it's going to become a new tradition of ours to do so. I had no idea I would find the illustrator here on DA just a week later! This book is so beautiful. ^_^
