Norman Messenger began his career as an advertising art director in London before turning to freelance illustration. He is a highly regarded illustrator and was a founding member of the Association of Illustrators. Norman has had a long-standing love of visual puzzles, optical illusions, changing picture mechanisms and fantastic imagery, and Imagine is book that he has long wanted to make—a portfolio of his favorite visual tricks executed with exquisite care and craftsmanship.
