Nina Kaun is a Ger­man illus­tra­tor whose grace­ful illus­tra­tors are fre­quently included in books — both hand sewn and lim­ited run.

Her style is extremely del­i­cate; the line weight and nuances of each shape look so soft, yet it’s all very sure of itself, as if every­thing is in its right place. I think her work is very beau­ti­ful. A fin­ished feel to the work, yet you feel like you are stum­bling in to someone’s jour­nal. It all seems very personal.

My favorite pub­li­ca­tion of hers is Auf, Auf Und Davon which trans­lated is, Up, Up and Away.
