Zoë Tucker’s Insider Review of the Bologna Book Fair

Zoë Tucker is our beloved co-teacher of the Make Art That Sells Illustrating Children’s Books course and a highly regarded children’s book art director. Earlier this year she attended the Bologna Children’s Book Fair, so we jumped at the chance to catch up with her and get her insights about the show. We also asked our MATS students who attended the fair to share images and their experience, so you can read their thoughts here. Zoe writes: Hi everyone! I haven’t been to the Bologna book fair in years and decided this year it was high time I reacquainted myself with it. It didn’t disappoint! Aside from the fact that Bologna is a beautiful medieval city and a great mini-break, the international Bologna Children’s Book Fair is a one stop wonder of inspiration and excitement – especially if you love children’s books like I do! You can download this report from Zoë

Here is the number one question I’m asked. Ok, maybe it’s not number one, but it’s a huge one. “Lilla, how do I get a style?” The short answer is that the more art you do, over time your work will merge and meld into one cohesive look. Right now, you may be concerned that you have many different looks.

Maybe you already have a style but you want a style refresh, or are getting board. How do you learn more about yourself? Part of discovering—or refreshing—your style is about making discernments.
