Beloved children's book illustrator and author Simms Taback died on December 25, 2011.
Faculty Jeff Seaver was a good friend of Mr. Taback's, and has created a web site honoring him.
Illustrator Steve Brodner posted a note about his passing on Drawger, as did illustrator Noah Woods.
Steven Heller wrote his obituary in the New York Times.
The illustration, above, is from a spread in my own well-worn copy of Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll, illustrated by Simms Taback.
