The folks at Little Otsu have launched a new mini art book series, and the first two Living Things Series Vol 1+2 have just been released!
The first in this series is by Lizzy Stewart and is called "A Guide to Eastern European Wildlife." Bursts of color shoot from the mouths of wolves and bears look on as carefully rendered unknown European towns are off in the distance. There are birds in flight and an owl on a perch, buildings on the backs of deer and tiny animals wearing tiny hats; all beautifully drawn in interchanging full and single color.
The second volume in the series by Jo Dery is called "Pheromones: a chemical conversation" and is an exploration of how animals use pheromones differently to do things like mark territory, attract mates and even attack enemies. Jo's beautiful watercolor drawings of sea urchins and amazing line drawings of beetles meet dogs, cats, gulls and even people in this factoid-filled and often humorous book.
