William Steig






William Steig is most known for his illustrations in famous children's books. He is also known for his sculpture as well as his cartoons. he sold his first cartoon to the New Yorker in 1930. Steig wrote his first children's book in 1968. newsweek also dubbed him the "king of cartoons". His work is simple and childlike which works well for his books. I couldn't find a lot of pictures of his work outside ofhis books or of his sculptures. Again I love the sense of whimsy in his pieces.
