We’re very excited to announce a collaboration between LMNOP and celebrated illustrator, Mikela Prevost. Mikela’s distinctive style will feature in LMNOP’s up-coming issue – due for release in June. Her contribution to our special ‘children’s books’ themed edition will observe the library’s golden rule.

We can’t wait for you to see it. In the meantime, here’s a behind-the-scenes look at a couple of Mikela’s initial sketches for the piece.

As you can see from these illustrations, her favourite subject is people, and children are no exception. She cleverly packs a scene with so much detail, that the events that precede it, and follow it, are somehow all contained in the single image. Visit Mikela’s website to see more of her work and look out for her illustration in the next issue of LMNOP Magazine.
