Art & Max by David Wiesner

Two very different artists — one polished and assured, the other messy, impatient, and eager to prove himself — spend a day working side by side, and as jealousy and frustration build the struggling artist’s experiments become wilder and wilder, with paint and images spilling off the page and transforming into surprising, animate creations; the playful, surreal turn of events celebrates risk-taking, mistakes, and the unpredictable ways individual voice and imagination find their own form.
