Jillian Tamaki's wonderful graphic painterly style is perfect to illustrate myths, legends and fairytales. Her line work reminds me in part of Yoshitaka Amano with his intricate and detailed fantasy universe, and also the illustrative style of Solange Gularte of Natural Snow Buildings She was commissioned to illustrate the Folio Society edition of Christina Rossetti's 'Goblin Market', and has also illustrated a collection of Irish myths and legends. Superbly atmospheric, her style also has a sharp menacing edge - dark and mysterious. I'd love to see her take on the Grimm fairytales.
