Tomi Ungerer

I think I may have posted a Tomi Ungerer post before. If I did, you’ll excuse me because he’s that cool. NYTimes had an article about him the other day The second in the last few months. His work spans from work decidedly for children to work decidedly for adults. And (American) publishers apparently decided never the 2 shall meet. A juxtaposition that was apparently too unnerving for American audiences. Which is why his work is less known on our side of the Atlantic. But amazing nonetheless.
