Graeme Base Quotes

I was eight when we came to Australia. It was five amazing weeks onboard this ship - it was the Northern Star Picture Quote #1

I was always interested in art at school, and after year twelve, senior year, I spent three years studying graphic design at college. I worked in advertising for two years but didn’t like it much, then began doing a bit of illustration work for various publishers Picture Quote #1

I began illustrating children’s books because of a growing disillusionment with the sort of work I was doing in the advertising industry. Book publishing offered me the chance to be far more creative Picture Quote #1

Being an artist, it’s all a journey, and you learn where the subtle patterns lie Picture Quote #1

I hope that there’s a difference between being childish and childlike and that I’m the latter, if you take my meaning. I often sort of wonder. I don’t think I’m a terribly good grown-up; I don’t take responsibility easily or well in many areas of life. Finance and stuff like that, I’m absolutely appalling Picture Quote #1

I’ve had an absolutely charmed life in every aspect of it. I do for my job what I would do for a hobby if it wasn’t my job. Half the secret of happiness, I’m ecstatically happily married with three great kids, you know. It’s been a blessed life Picture Quote #1

I decided to take my foot off the pedal with all the detail. I’m sure after ‘Animalia’ and ‘The Eleventh Hour,’ readers thought that’s what to expect from Graeme Base. With ‘The Sign of the Seahorse,’ I took a step away from the puzzle-book genre - that was more of an adventure story Picture Quote #1

It’s not even my job to educate, but what I do is try to facilitate by creating a book that works on different levels. I do want to entertain and bring some joy to the reading experience. If it holds a little kernel of knowledge that readers choose to explore, well, that’s great Picture Quote #1

It was always that detail that drove me. Ever since I was a little kid, I used to get into the nitty gritty... when I was drawing army tanks or monsters, I’d do every nut and rivet, and I’d do every scale on the dragon’s back. It was just the way I was built Picture Quote #1

Being an artist, its all a journey, and you learn where the subtle patterns lie Picture Quote #1

I guess I don’t come to the work without baggage. I have an idea of what I want my pictures to look like in my head, and if they don’t match up, I find it frustrating Picture Quote #1
