In conversation with illustrator and author Divya Srinivasan, who has created the artwork for Neil Gaiman’s upcoming book Cinnamon
Divya Srinivasan has built a career telling stories through her illustrations. Having worked on everything from animated feature films (Waking Life, 2001) and music CD artwork (the radio show and podcast This American Life) to magazines like The New Yorker, she has now brought to life Neil Gaiman’s Cinnamon, the fable of a blind princess and a tiger, with bold, colourful artworks. Here, Austin-based Srinivasan, also the author of the picture book Little Owl’s Night, talks to Bazaar about her latest endeavour.
How did the Cinnamon project come about?
My agent found out about Cinnamon needing an illustrator and thought it would be the perfect project for me. After he connected me with the publisher, I did a few character design samples to make sure the art director, editor, Neil Gaiman, and I were on the same wavelength. Happily, it was a go.
