Jake Green's photographs inside children's illustrators' studios

Jake Green is an old chum of the site, and recently we’ve been enamoured with his look at London’s Evangelical churches. But it’s the church of illustration he’s been bowing down to recently, and all our prayers have been answered in the form of The Bookmaker’s Studio. The sweet little tome brings together beautiful photographs shot inside the studios of children’s illustrators, and features text by another old chum of It’s Nice That, James Cartwright. “It’s not often you get the chance to go and hang out with some of your heroes, so the images we’ve created capture our excitement at being allowed into these otherwise unseen spaces to witness such a variety of personalities, styles and techniques,” says Jake.

Among those featured are Owen Davey, Oliver Jeffers, Katja Spitzer and Hervé Tullet, and the book has been designed by Melanie Mues of Mues design. Jake’s currently drumming up support for the project on Kickstarter, with the official launch exhibition happening from September at London’s House of Illustration.
