Congratulations to illustrator Anita Kunz, whose pointed visual statements have graced The New Yorker, Time, and other top publications, for being appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada. According to the official post, she gets this award for “For her contributions as an illustrator whose insightful works have graced publications around the world.” This is pretty much the most prestigious honour you can get in Canada, and the first I know of for an illustrator. Awards are few for those who don’t do children’s books, so I see it as a landmark event. Anita has another site for her artwork here.
