We Take a Saturday Walk/Vamos a Pasear el Sábado
by Alex Rider
llustrated by Peter Madden
A charming bilingual vintage children’s book published in 1968. This book is a bit of a mystery as we haven’t been able to find any information on either writter or illustrator, but we thought it was worth sharing the puzzle with you … Do you know who they are?
It is Saturday morning. Leon puts on his coat, and then he goes to wait for his father and his sister, Ann, on the walk in front of his house.
Es sábado por la mañana. León se pone su abrigo, y entonces va a esperar a su papá y su hermana, Ana, en la acera delante de su casa.
“I like these Saturday trips,” Father says. “What are we going to do today?” “Would you two like to go to the zoo again?” Leon asks. ” Oh Daddy, let’s go,” says Ann. “We haven’t visited the zoo in weeks.”
—Me gustan estos paseos los sábados—dice papá. —¿Qué vamos a hacer hoy?— —¿Le gustaría ir al zoológico de nuevo?—pregunta León. “Ay, si,papá, vamos—dice Ann. —Hace varias semanas que no visitamos e lzoológico.—
After they have been in the monkey house awhile, Ann says, “I don’t like the smell in here.” “I don’t like it too much, either,” Father says. “And I mind the noise,” Leon adds. “Let’s go outdoors again to see the big cats.”
Después de permanecer un rato en la casa de los monos, Ann dice:—No me gusta el olor aquí.— —A mí tampoco me gusta mucho— dice papá. —Y a mi me molesta el ruido— añade León. —Vamos afuera de nuevo a ver los gatos grandes felinos.—

Técnicas de Ilustración: Ilustración a dos tintas (II)
Meses atrás ya comenté una técnica para diseñar ilustraciones a dos tintas en "Técnicas de Ilustración: Ilustración a dos tintas (I)". Ahora propongo otra técnica algo distinta para la que usaré esta vez colores Pantone.
El sistema de colores Pantone es un sistema estandarizado de denominación de colores codificado (a través de un número) utilizado en el campo de las artes gráficas, que permite que, al menos por esta vez, ilustradores e impresores puedan llegar a entenderse.
Very interesting!
FLying Houses by Laurent Chehere
Flying Houses by Laurent Chehere.
A collection of fantastical buildings, houses and tents that have been removed from their backgrounds and are suspended in the sky as if permanently airborne. The collection of work appeared at Galerie Paris-Beijing last year. Magical photography that could easily be mistaken with illustrations.
