INTRODUCTION 2018 is set to be another exciting year for LOM ART. This list of artist-led, creative titles continues to showcase the brightest stars of illustration. It offers arty activity books, such as How to Draw People for the Artistically Anxious, The Van Gogh Activity Book and D is for Doodling, as well as quirky gift titles, including Paper World, a fun foray into 3D paper modelling. There’s plenty for younger readers, too, with colourful interactive board books Find Me and Follow Me, as well as a unique twist on a traditional counting book in the shape of Kahlo’s Koalas. In September, we are thrilled to publish our first picture book, the beautifully illustrated Maybe the Moon from artist Frances Ives, a former winner of the LOM ART Prize.
