Errol Le Cain was an amazing illustrator and designer. He illustrated many books and also worked in the animation field, being instrumental in the background design of Richard William’s ‘The Thief and the Cobbler’.
I first came across his work years ago when we had some children’s books at home illustrated by him. Here’s a few images from his book ’The Twelve Dancing Princesses’.
Here’s a link to a section of The Thief and the Cobbler on Youtube.
His use of colour and patterns is really amazing, and for any fan of design it’s well worth investing in some of his books to drool over.
This website put together by book collector Tania Covo has a comprehensive list of his work, and links to buy his books and all that too.
