Dick Bruna

Dick Bruna is a Dutch man who was born in Utrecht, Netherlands on August 23, 1927. He is an author, artist, illustration and a graphic designer who is best known for his children’s books. He has been the author and illustrator of over 200 books, his best knows book is ‘Miffy’ who is a small rabbit with heavy graphic lines and simple shapes and colors. I noticed when I was looking at pictures of his art work that he was very simple with colors and the drawings. He also designed and illustrated books covers, posters, and promotional covers for his fathers publishing company. His father was the owner of the largest publishing company in the Netherlands which I’m sure helped Dick get his name out there, and his work. When he was young he started drawing and would draw the covers for his schools newspaper.
