Maira Kalman

Chicken Soup, Boots. 1993. Maira is one of my heroes. I met her briefly years ago after hearing her speak at a Design Conference in Las Vegas. She was witty and self-effacing. I was also lucky enough to assign her a couple of illustrations for the magazine I was working on at the time, Shape. She won us an award for her work!
