There is nothing more entertaining for a bookworm than humour about their favourite pastime.
Scottish artist/illustrator Tom Gauld has created many pieces of art with bookish themes.
I’ll share one of my favourites here:
He is featured often in The Guardian, a London newspaper, AND his work has featured on the cover of the prestigious New Yorker.
I had never heard of him until I followed an online link. As I’m not sure he is very well known in Canada, I thought I’d share his art with you.
Check out Tom Gauld’s website!

Tom Gauld was born in 1976 and grew up in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. He is a cartoonist and illustrator and his work is regularly published in the The Guardian, The New York Times and New Scientist. He has created a number of comic books. He lives in London with his family.
