An Odd Sock Story

About Elvira GrassiaRose Hart

Pre-kindergarten teacher Elvira Grassia and singer/songwriter Rose Hart began to create and develop 'An Odd Sock Story' while both living and working in New York City. It was when they teamed up with Jan Hart based in London that the idea was brought to life with vibrant and imaginative illustrations. The three continued to develop the journey of these socks into the fun and thoughtful story it has become.With a long career in graphic illustration and painting Jan Hart has specialised in cartoons over recent years. She drew a long running cartoon strip for the 'Times Education Supplement' about a dysfunctional further education college and has just completed a series of cartoon covers for a set of books on Bridge.The illustrations in 'An Odd Sock Story' are the kind of pictures she likes to work on the most helping create a crazy world where anything is possible and focusing on all the little details that make it real. Close observers will detect a deep affection for Dr Marten footwear.
