Delessert’s work is more often than not aimed at children. He is intent on expanding the the minds of children through questions raised by his strange yet compelling illustrations. Like many illustrators, Delessert consideres himself to be a story teller using illustration to communicate a message. Many of his pieces are rendered in digital media combined with hand sketching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like his conceptual approach to this one. I’m not a huge fan of some of his work, but I quite like this one. Oddly reminds me of a Dali.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
