I wish you guys could go too, Heidi.
The first book is wonderful and I'm looking forward to seeing the second book and all of it's art. We own two Nate Wragg pieces (and Heidi and Tom own another). All of the work for these books are done in that great Pixar style (which makes sens since they are (or were?) all Pixar illustrators). For me, it's akin to owning a non-Disney Mary Blair piece.
Here are the artist bios:
Scott Morse has contributed art direction, designs, and storyboards to a plethora of studios, including Universal,
Hanna Barbera, Cartoon Network, Disney, Nickelodeon, and Pixar. Morse has also authored over ten graphic novels
and comics collections, including SOULWIND, VISITATIONS, VOLCANIC REVOLVER, MAGIC PICKLE, THE
BAREFOOT SERPENT, SOUTHPAW, and NOBLE BOY.
Lou Romano has worked as a designer and illustrator on distinguished projects such as THE POWERPUFF
GIRLS and THE IRON GIANT, in addition to being the production designer of Pixar’s THE INCREDIBLES and art
director of the upcoming Pixar film UP.

ditionally, Shank has provided development work for THE INCREDIBLES and production design for seasons 2-4 of
THE POWERPUFF GIRLS. He is a recipient of an Annie and two Emmys for his work in animation.
Nate Wragg has worked as an illustrator and designer on various productions including RATATOUILLE, Pixar’s short
