Morteza Zahedi Cats seem to be everywhere these days. After I wake up in the morning with my cat 's bum on my face, many feline faces invariably greet me as I sip my coffee while browsing through my facebook wall and pinterest. At the other side of the room, Seba is at work creating the cats for his 2013 calendar. Right now, Chapi sits on my tablet licking himself as I try to find a way around him to write these words. What can I do? I am powerless against his charm.Yes, felines can be addictive. Often, when artists start portraying them, they seem to find it difficult to stop... Here is my contribution to the madness.

"First you have to know what you are going to paint: a man or a fish or a bird or a leaf or an animal, and what it looks like. Then you must know how it moves, runs, creeps, swims or flies. For many that would be the end of their art effort, but some go ahead and paint sadness and happiness, fear and courage. Only a few reach the point at which they can paint a smell and a taste of fruits or even, silence in the dream. If you can do all these things then you must know the way to bring a story and a picture together. Everything must be done at the right place and on the right time, so the tensions in the book rises as in the theatre." Józef Wilkon Klatki, 2009 Mr Wilkon was born in Bydgoszcz in 1930, and studied painting at the Academy of Art in Krakow and art history at Jagiellonian University. After finishing his studies he spent a year in Paris, and in 1957 started working as illustrator and graphic designer for various Polish publishers. Since then, Wilkon has illustrated over 100 books for children and adults. In 1963 he started to be published abroad, and over 60 volumes have been published around the world, 14 of which also in Italian. Wilkon's artistic creations also include wonderful wood and metal animal sculptures and installations, and designs for tapestries and theatre sets. He has won many international awards, and held exhibitions and workshops for children across Europe. Of course, with all this, I was surprised to find very little about him in the English speaking web... Cover and illustration from Tygrys o zlotum sercu, 1963, thanks to the beautiful Ksiazki / Books blog Illustration from Basnie Perksie Illustration from Little Tom and Big cat, 1976 hmmm.... I am not sure where this one comes from Two illustrations from the recently republished Ksiega Dzungli (Jungle book) by Rudyard Kipling Illustration from Leopanther, A Love Story, 1997 I had to dig quite a bit to find these pictures, but I am glad I did. I really wanted to dedicate a post to this extraordinary artist, and now I have enough material for at least five!
