Jan Balet

I was first exposed to the work of Jan Balet at the vintage illustration flickr collection of Leif Peng of Today's Inspiration. Suffice it to say the name Jan Balet immediately went on my search list. Eventually, I hit paydirt. Collected here are some samples from the children's book What Makes an Orchestra written and illustrated by Jan Balet, 1951.

Hi there,

I found a link to your blog at Wardomatic blog and got really amazed about your work. I think it is really expressive and sophisticated.
I would love to have this link in my page if it’s ok by you. Here’s my link for your consideration to post it in yours. http://taivitorias.blogspot.com/

Thank you
