Chris Ashley has been posting scans of old children's book covers amid his regular weblog entries. More intriguing design ideas than you can shake a frisket at. The hand-rendered photographic style of A Pony for Linda, above, resembles the high contrast still images of the Cartoon Network show Tom Goes to the Mayor. What doesn't work in an animated cartoon looks great on a kid's book. Also in Ashley's compendium, be sure to check out the endearingly Henry Darger-ish What's Inside of Me?
Hey Tom- thanks for the link. The link to the compilation of all of the book covers is chrisashley.net/weblog/archives/cat_book_covers.html.
Thanks, d'uh, I forgot about "categories."
