Book Reading/Signing At TINY YOU on Saturday, December 15 at 3PM
Esteban
Erlich, a resident of Sunnyside Gardens, Queens, has just published a
delightful children’s picture book, entitled, “The Most Curious Girl in Her
Class.” He illustrated the book, and along with the author, Herman Huber, have
created it especially for children ages 4-7. It tells the intriguing story of a
young sister and brother who venture into a mysterious forest and find
adventure and danger among the unusual creaturesthere. It also teaches the value
of kindness and reciprocity.
Erlich, an architect who hails from Buenos Aires, Argentina,
used a mixture of watercolor, gouache, and black and white drawings to create
evocative and beautiful illustrations that bring the fantastical world of the
story to life. It is published by Mishpucha Books of Madison, NJ and is
available on Amazon.com and BN.com.

Interview with Esteban Erlich
Interview with Esteban Erlich, Illustrator of The Most Curious Girl In Her Class: The Adventures of Hecky and Shmecky.
What are your sources of inspiration?
I'm
inspired by many different things (music, nature, other art). I learned
a lot from the work of Studio Ghibli, a japanese animation studio, in
particular by the work of one of their artist called Kazuo Oga. I also
greatly admire the work of Miroslav Sasek (The author of "This is New
York" and others).
What is the most fascinating part of being an illustrator? What is the most frustrating?
It
is fun to be an illustrator, specially when you do it as a hobby like
me. For me it is an opportunity to do something different from my
day-to-day work. It's exciting to look for sources of inspiration and
learn new techniques. It is a bit frustrating when things don't come out
the way you want them but you get better over time.
What advice would you give to aspiring illustrators?
I'm
far from being an accomplished illustrator myself! I could probably use
more advice than I could give on this matter. I guess I would say do it
if you enjoy it and try to learn from the artists you admire.
Could you tell us a bit about any of your upcoming projects?
Herm
Huber (the author of "The Most Curious Girl in her Class") has written
two more books with the same characters and is waiting for my
illustrations. I'm also starting working on a graphic novel.
What part of Queens do you live in? How long have you lived in Queens?
How long have you been working as an illustrator?
I
was trained as an architect and, early on, became fascinated with
architectural illustrations. I started my architectural career doing
illustrations for other architects. Although I work professionally as an
architect now, with the birth of my own children (starting 5 years ago)
I started drawing other things that I thought might be interesting to
them (vehicles, animals, etc) and that is how I started illustrating
children related themes. I started working on this book 2 years ago and
this is my first illustration work for a children's book.

What part of Queens do you live in? How long have you lived in Queens?
I live in Sunnyside Gardens, in what is actually Woodside, and have been around here for 8 years.
What do you love about living in Queens?
I love that it is so culturally diverse and rich and the sense of
community we have. The Sunnyside Gardens Community Park is a source of
joy for us and I, of course, love the architecture and the trees in the
neighborhood.
