My mind is always flying

Finally I got the book I ordered weeks ago, you know because of the strike I didn't get it on time, 'Pass the celery, Ellery' is a wonderful book, I love the illustrations of Jeffrey Fisher and this made me change my mind, Fisher's work is more simple than I am and I always tend to complicate things and do lot of detail when sometimes it is not necessary. I decided to give up the paper mache idea and create cardboard teapots with Fisher character's personality and put them carefully in a shoebox decorated also in the artist's style. I am very pleased with the result, the work is funny, and I seemed to finally understand Fisher's style but I am not sure he would probably like my teapots, however I do. I love them!

The funny side!

Fisher's main characteristic in his work is his sense of humor, although I read some where he is very shy. Most of his work are cover books, I believe that If you want to succeed in any profession you have to be commit to learn more everyday, For example Fisher read the Famous novel 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin' and then produced a beautiful cover book. this was unusual at that time but now is something vital. You cannot do a good work without research. He mainly uses ink, acrylic and watercolours. His designs are charming, colorful, cheerful, full of energy and ironic too.

Jeff Fisher and his longtime relationship...

The story of this relationship started when Bloomsbury needed a cover designer for an anthology called 'Soho Square' They loved his work and Liz Calder (Managing Editor of Bloomsbury) called it unique and absolutely timeles.

Jeffrey Fisher and Me

On the web I usually find so many interesting things but in this case it was a bit tricky, I had to Google in French and Australian web pages to find more about Fisher's work. Anyway now I know that Fisher works and lives in France, he is very famous for his book cover 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin' and other titles such as: 'Les Liasons Culianire', 'Pass the Cellery, Ellery!' (He illustrated and also wrote this book which teach children rhymes). Among his clients are Puma, The Victorian Gas Board and French corporations like Les Ouvriers Da cote, L M Communiquer, Banque Laydernier. http://www.banque-laydernier.fr/
