Before we're old enough to understand language, we create memories through imagery. And some of the first images that spark our young imaginations are the illustrations in the books of our childhood. Those pictures never leave our subconscious, and as adults we get to experience their wonder all over again when we share them with our own children. Now you have a chance to own the art from these timeless storybooks, created by John Kurtz, a true master of this lost art.
John Kurtz is a master of the lost art of illustration, using paints, ink, pencils, airbrushes and more to conjure the imagery that has brought joy to so many. Over his long career, he’s created work for publishers like Disney Press and Scholastic, done character work for Cartoon Network, Sesame Street and Nickelodeon, and crafted memorable advertising for Coca-Cola. With over 25 Winnie the Pooh books in his pocket, it’s a safe bet that you grew up with John’s artwork, or shared it with children of your own.
