This is a tribute piece I did based on the phenominal artwork of Miroslav Sasek. Sasek is easily one of my favorite artists of all time, and when I was asked to create a piece of artwork inspired by my favorite literary figure for this blog created by Steven Gettis I knew exactly who I would pay tribute to. If you haven't seen Sasek's work ( posted below )
I suggest you check it out. The bulk of his work can be seen in the books he illustrated as he traveled the many cities and regions of the world. The title's are a no brainer "This is San Francisco" for example illustartes his trip and all the people and locations he visited in San Francisco. The paintings are beautiful to say the least. For me his work is the perfect blend of cartoon characature, architechture, ladscape and life drawing.
As for the tibute piece I did, rather than picking a city or a place to illustrate him in, I thought it would be best to put him on top of the world, drawing eveything everywhere.

Amazing! I want those books.
Was an avid fan of the Sasek book when I was a kid (yeah, weird kid, I dug Mary Blair as well) and own a bunch of these now as an adult.
The one book I wish he would have done was for Amsterdam. Seeing your illustrations has me wondering... would you mind picking up where Sasek left off? I know, it's totally selfish, but I'd buy those books and push them on everyone.
Just a thought. Anyway, thanks for this. Brilliant.
Great piece as always, and thanks for turning me on to his work...he's one of those guys that when you start perusing his stuff you realize how much of it you've seen before!
I love this M.Sasek tribute piece you did, man! Great idea and execution!!!
He's definitely phenomenal!!
wow... he is the 'this is ireland' guy... great book... solid design
Really awesome nate! Love Sasek.
Great work like always!? I've seen many of these books and they're really amazing!
I really like this textures work!
I love that nostalgic look of his art. I have seen it a number of times at Border's books. It's really cool!
Awesome Nate, this has a lot of care and thought and your pieces always communicate so beautifully and have a hint of wonder.
Another brilliant piece, Nate. And thanks for introducing me to the fan-freakin-tastic work of Miroslav. =]
I first found Sasek as an adult when I learned of "Mike and the ModelMakers". I'm a huge Lesney Matchbox collector and this book is all about how the cars were made. Another great Sasek book is "Stone is not cold".
Great illustration.
