I love Lapin’s work and was so excited when he agreed to contribute to An Illustrated Journey. We became pals over email, then got to know each other better over Skype. Maybe you remember this interview we did recently:
Last week Lapin, Lapinette and baby Louise came over from Barcelona to visit us in New York and brought Veronica Lawlor (another genius contributor to the book). We had a lovely evening of chatting, drawing, sharing sketchbooks and guzzling vin. Here are some of the highlights:












look at how she is holding the pencil! My kids took ages to learn that. Beautiful family and friends moment….

Trop cool tout ça! Wonderful drawings, lovely light room & gathering. Love the stamped (?) page numbering in Lapin’s sketchbook. Love his light & almost ephemeral style.

That looks like a great night, Danny! No better path to conviviality than drawing together over a bottle.

Beautiful! And how inspiring to see a little one follow in her parents’ footsteps. 🙂 I followed in my dad’s, and now my kids are following in mine, and I’m thankful every day. What a fun evening you had!

Danny, what kind of pen does Lapin use? Inquiring minds want to know.

Inquiring minds are invited to read page 154 of An Illustrated Journey on which Lapin says:”the UNI PIN fine line 0.1mm suits my taste. It’s waterproof and the black ink is very dark; I love it.“
