SPECS SUMMARY PUBLISHER DETAILS SELECTED INTERIOR ILLUSTRATIONS ADVERTISING Showcase Book Design   TITLE Dirk Steffens Das tierische Kuriositäten- kabinett Rowohlt (Juvenile Nonfiction) SPECS - Jacket design - Cover illustration - Interior illustrations   b/w whimsical art SUMMARY Book on quirky behavior in the animal kingdom: Did you know that a blue whale’s heart can measure up to the size of a Volkswagen beetle? That the eyes of plaice fish go about wandering? That a cockroach can live without its head for nine consecutive days before starving to death? In his book entitled Little Bestiary of Wonders, Dirk Steffens, a popular TV host and producer of documentaries about wildlife for Arte and ZDF television, unravels some of the weirdest and most outlandish mysteries that nature has to offer. Published by Rowohlt, one of Germany’s largest book publishers, my cover illustration shows a great many wild animals against a pitch dark background, while my one hundred black and white interior visuals in whimsical cartoon style, many in full-size, illustrate the individual chapters.
