Drawing is perhaps the most immediate medium through which an idea can be articulated. Illustration takes drawing into the narrative realm. The illustrations that we see as children stay with us forever; they play a seminal role in the development of our imagination. On Illustration argues that this unassuming artistic discipline can enrich a persons experience of cultural life provided the illustrators talent is matched by the courage and intelligence of the client. The book is an insight into Andrzej Klimowskis practice, and will help define the role and status of the illustrator in todays creative industries.

He is currently Professor of Illustration at the Royal College of Art in London. His graphic novels are published by Faber and Faber and SelfMadeHero. 'A few words about Kilmowski? Impossible. You can't capture an imagination such as his in a sentence or two. ... His eye is a microscope a magnifying glass a two-way mirror and a crystal ball. He leads the field by a very long furlong out on his own making his own weather. He is Klimowksi unafraid.' - Harold Pinter
