I wish I'd done that - artist 6

- Artist: Tony Diterlizzi
- Project: The Spiderwick Chronicles
- Client: Simon & Schuster
- Genre: Children Illustration, Fantasy.



- Would you love to work with this client?
Having looked at their website, I can't really see any love for much illustrations for the books that their selling, but on the children section they are quite fond of the children adventure books. So I wouldn't mind working for this client if it was soley for a children's story as you'll do more work, and probably get more money from doing so.

- Are you inspired by the ideas and concepts in the work?
Yes, inside the books are numerous black and white sketch's of the many scenarios going on in the book, inc the numerous creatures that are featured in the story such as trolls, brownies, faeries, which are illustrated greatly.

- Have you got a special interest in this genre?
Yes. The two genre's that have been specified here are the two category that I want to go into when I finish education, and its two genres that have inspired me, esp the fantasy side of it all.

- Do you want your work to be received by a similar audience?
yes, Tony's targeted audience was aimed at the young teenager audience around the 13 yr old bracket, and those that are fans of the fantasy genre.

- Are you seduced by the style/aesthetics of the work?
Not seduced no, but the characters are eye catching and quite pleasing to the eye of a fantasy/mythological creature fan.
 
- Is the work well and truly within or outside your comfort zone?
The work is sort of in and out of my comfort zone: The quality of the work is well out of my league but creating B&W sketches is something I've been doing quite a long time now. The lay out of the pages as well are easily do-able (the work is usually either centered of the page, or it has one character lurking around the text) 

- Is the work surprising or unusual in any way?
Not really.
