Part 12: Otto Seibold

As an illustrator of children's books J.Otto Seibold is perhaps best known for illustrations of children's books, and in particular those of author wife, Vivian Walsh.

As we can see from the examples above, Seibold's style is somewhat graphic in style, almost vector-like in appearance. This highly graphic, brightly coloured style is highly appealing to younger audiences, as well as, recently at least, artists alike. As a trend in design I am not convinced this is the style for me so to speak. However I cannot deny its appeal, and as such its success. Yet this is not to say that because it is successful from a commercial perspective, it is successful from a personal stand-point.
