In the late 1990's, I was fortunate to interview Illustrator/Artist J.Otto Seibold about his fantastic Books and Career. The interview was posted on the site of fellow Illustrator/artist and friend Simon Bosch on his site CultureZone at http://www.digital-illustration.com.au/c-zone.html.
Recently Simon and I were approached by the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco, CA,
asking permission to publish the interview in the Exhibition program/catalogue for J.Otto Seibold's upcoming exhibition. Quite and honor and we wish him every success!
Here's a snippet from the Museums website:
About J.Otto Seibold
J. Otto Seibold is one of America’s most beloved and influential authors of children’s books, yet remains somewhat of a hidden treasure here in the Bay Area. Born and raised in the East Bay, where he still resides, his Mr. Lunch books (written with Vivian Walsh) are the first children’s books designed using computer software. His Olive the Other Reindeer is a holiday classic. In conjunction with the twentieth anniversary of the Mr. Lunch books, the exhibition will explore Mr. Lunch’s history and Seibold’s artistic process. Along with original artwork the exhibition will include interactive areas for children designed by Seibold with new content relating to Mr. Lunch.
J. Otto Seibold and Mr. Lunch is based on three books by J. Otto Seibold and Vivian Walsh: Mr. Lunch Borrows a Canoe, Free Lunch, and Mr. Lunch Takes a Plane Ride.
