Javi Aznarez Gets Into the Groove for Internazionale Kids

Javi Aznarez really got into his groove with this one. Created for Internazionale Kids, Javi’s latest illustration is packed with the kind of detail that rewards a second, third and probably fourth look. Characters, objects, expressions and tiny visual jokes all compete for attention, creating an image that feels less like a single illustration and more like a whole miniature world.

It’s a perfect fit for a magazine that introduces younger readers to stories and ideas from around the world. Illustration plays an important role here: not simply decorating the page, but making subjects approachable, engaging and fun. Javi’s distinctive line, playful characters and brilliantly observed details do exactly that, giving readers plenty to discover while keeping everything immediate and accessible.

The more we look at this one, the more we think there’s another possible life for it.

Internazionale Kids jigsaw puzzle, anyone?
