I love the sense of place and the ora he creates in his pieces. He uses the page very well and empty spaces he creates. I love the use of colour and the softness of lines. As the text i have chosen is magical reality, how he combines literal and not literally aspects in his illustrations would work really well.
This is a great interview with the man himself i read.
