he 2013 Festival of Books was just too big for one Tillustrated mascot. So the offi cial artist for this year’s event — Frank Viva — was called upon to fi nd a wildly original way to bring to life all the fun and imagination with a variety of creations. The acclaimed illustrator, author and graphic artist designed several characters and images to populate the Festival. There’s a hipster guitarist, a cook with a skillet and a girl reading under the waves — refl ecting three major elements of the event. “Music, cooking and literature are three of my favorite things,” Viva said. “The characters don’t have names, but I’m open to suggestions. I think the guitarist looks like an Alfi e. Some of the illustrations were developed alongside my [new] book ‘A Long Way Away.’” Every year The Times selects a Festival artist from a number of entries submitted by top publishing houses. It’s all about

ﬁ nding a fresh vision for the Festival’s key art, and Viva was LOS ANGELES TIMES | a natural for the job. Breaking out as an illustrator for several publications including Time and Esquire, Viva later launched a second career as graphic artist, creating Viva & Co. He has designed covers for the New Yorker and is author/ illustrator of three acclaimed children’s books including “Along a Long Road” and “A Trip to the Bottom of the World with Mouse.” Viva’s original art also appears on ofﬁ cial Festival of Books merchandise. “I haven’t been to this event before — very much looking
