I didn’t know these two wonderful artists until today: I went to a library and I found ” The brave little tailor”. Olga Dugina and Andrej Dugin are really fantastic, I can’t tell how beautiful their images are.
I really would like to tell them that
Thanks
R.

What is Dugin and Dugina’s drawing media under the watercolor? I’ve searched everywhere to find out. Gennady spirin does wonderful drawing too. If pencil, it’s not smearing or coming up gray which could mean they’re using gouaches over the drawing. For a while, I wondered if it was silverpoint drawing. If anyone knows or where I can find information, it will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Diana

Hey…ages back (maybe 16 yrs ago!!!) I was gifted an Arabian Nights book that was hardcover bound and had illustrations that were very much in this style..I lost that book in a flooding incident sometime back and have been looking for the same edition ever since…if you know the edition I speak of…please do contact me.

Cheers,
romel

The Dugins are among my favorite illustrators working today. If you are ever in the Los Angeles area and have the time you should drop by Storyopolis, which has the benifit of being not only a well stocked children’s bookstore, but also a gallery of original works. (Irene is right, these belong in museums)

They have several folios of the Dugins work most of which is for sale. They had an opening last year at which we had the rare chance to meet this Husband/Wife team in person!

Their website (and a small gallery of their collection): http://www.storyopolis.com

The image is stunning! Do they have a published collection of their work?

I like very much their work. I should buy their Abdi book.

Irene, Thanks for your description of their originals. That's enough for me to be determined to see one if I ever get the chance. Other readers should note that Irene's take on their originals comes from the vantage point of one of the premier art directors in the field of fantastic art. Her always fascinating blog is The Art Department.

Pavel,

Thanks for the link! There’s way too little about these artists on the web.
