#HFGather Illustrator Chat: The Legacy of Tomie dePaola

Pat Cummings hosted our #HFGather chat today, talking with art directors Laurent Linn and Cecilia Yung about the legacy of Tomie dePaola:

Style: don’t worry about style. Just keep working and it will come
Accessing your 5-year-old self like Tomie did, with joy, curiosity and a sense of mischief
Tomie was a unique part of the children’s book landscape
His art was deceptively simple, yet it had many layers
He loved to curate his life and his art
Tomie put (almost) everything he liked, into his books
