Behind Illustrations is a compendium that presents the current panorama of illustration where professionals the world over make their work known — a range of illustrations with great visual diversity owing to the contrast of styles and cultures. But the book does not merely reveal their creative work. Each artist has a space to reflect upon their own work and profession, revealing the person behind each style and project, providing different visions of a profession they all have in common, but that is at the same time different for each one of them.
