You have probably seen a Serge Bloch drawing
before. One of the most prolific and talented living French illustrators, Bloch
has a instantly recognizable voice, and appears regularly in The New York
Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, as well
as GQ and National Geographic. His work is humorous, heartfelt, with a
deceptively childlike simplicity that has made him sought after as an
illustrator for hard-hitting news stories, children’s books, and everything in
between. Bloch was awarded a gold medal by the Society
of Illustrators in 2005, the Bologna Ragazzi award in 2007, as well as the Best
Book Award in Taiwan in 2010.
“I am drawing
stories and writing drawings,” says Bloch, “even with stories that have no
rhyme nor reason or with sketches drawn upside down.”
