about the author
Ted. Tad Hills: "Every time I imagine myself as a child, I spend a lot of time in art, I create, compose, and paint." He did not intend to be an artist, but his creative motivations It is naive and pure. "I love creation," he said.
As a student graduating from the New York Skidmore College, he described himself as a 100% freelancer. He has done false teeth for actors, jewellery, and theatrical performances. He has also been involved in interior renovation and adult business book covers. Drawing.
The children's literary work of Haiers began at a time when his wife Simon and Schuster's children's books department took up a new position as artistic director. "Lee asked me if I could paint for books without an illustrator," said Haiers. When Li switched to Random House and worked with her old friend and partner Ann Schwartz in the publishing industry on her own, with Li's encouragement, Hailes completed many picture books. He said, "In the beginning, I completed four This picture book. "Duck and Goose is one of them.
Duck and Goose's title was originally "Little Stupid Goose, Strange Duck and Dome". When Heils conceived the story, he realized that the egg had to be big enough to bear a duck and a goose, but who could give birth to it A giant egg? A monster? Or an ostrich? He asked this question in the classroom of his kindergarten son, but got a pair of eyes filled with question marks. Heles was inspired to change the dome into a ball and changed the title.
"It's quite difficult for me to write. I can spend hours staring at a blank page." He mentioned: "When Li went home and asked me how I am today, I told her it was OK and I completed a sentence .But if when I really immersed in that situation, I can truly hear their conversation (duck and goose), they are telling me what they are saying, this is the ultimate experience, at this moment, you are not working, You are enjoying! "
Hailes used water-based oil paint as the base, and then completed the final details with colored pencils. Although his composition seemed simple, Hailes drew hundreds of ducks and geese before painting the finished product. He said, "The first one I painted looks very old, like an old smoke gun." After a few months, Haiers finally mastered their essence-round head, square face, triangular webbed, door-like mouth, "When I finished my eyebrows, I could finally convey the mood of the ducklings," he said.
When Hayes' two children grew older, he was quite fascinated by the interaction between children. He said, "When I was a child, bad behavior and unfair treatment were not allowed to me." In Duck and Goose He newly created a duckling called Thistle to paint a friendship triangle. Heils uses ducklings, goslings, and Hildo to convey his observations and provides a communication channel between parents and children.
Hayers created in Brooklyn, New York. Sometimes, he puts down his pen and paper and tries to experience the moment with an acceptance. "Usually my inspiration comes from inadvertently inserting willows. It's not easy to reach the realm of hand-in-hand." He said.
According to Hales, book creation is like art creation, which means that you can make your work as rich as possible with rich language and personality within a certain range by using the chosen medium-theatrical stage, canvas or book paper. Rich life.
