EarQ&A WITH
Robert Sabuda
Believe is not only a beautiful book physically; it also contains a
multitude of beautiful and inspiring sentiments. What inspired you to
share this hopeful message?
There have been countless times when I wasn’t
sure I could overcome life's challenges. [hope that
aeh Believe will remind readers that they're not alone
/ and to continue forging ahead through life
Throughout the book, the theme of possibility is
evoked when an image, like an acorn or a paper
airplane, is followed by a 3-D pop-up of what that
thing could be, like a towering tree or a rocket soaring
upward. How did you develop the text and visual
Pairings to communicate this message?
When faced with a challenge, I sometimes feel kind of small—but
hopefully not for long! I understand and recognize that life can be
alittle scary when you feel small. Being able to visualize yourself
into something bigger, something better, really appeals to me. The
ideas just seemed to flow out of me when I remembered what it
was like to feel small and then how great it felt to move on and
become big again
Sometimes your pop-ups are created in full color, but you are also well
known for your simple and striking white pop-ups as well. How do you
decide which medium you will use for each book, and why do you think
the white works particularly well for Believe?
Believe it or not, there's really no rhyme or reason to how I
work! Usually it’s just a feeling, For a book like Believe, I think it’s
important for readers to be able to use their imagination for some
of the imagery since we all have unique, individual life experiences.
Simple, white pop-ups provide the reader with a blank slate to
reflect on their own lifeYou recently shared that you are approaching your thirtieth anniversary
of bookmaking. How do you feel about reaching that career milestone?
When you reflect on all of the beautiful books you have made, what
continues to drive you to keep creating?
Thirty years! How is that even possible? The funny thing is that
I'm often asked by fans where my ideas come from. I can see in
their faces that this concept of idea-meking is somewhat foreign
to them. If only it were easy to just turn it off! My creative mind is
like a well that never runs dry (knock on wood). There is a constant
flow that I can barely keep up with; it just doesn’t stop. I don’t think
there are enough years in my life for all the projects I'd like to do!
What do you love the most about being an artist, author, and paper
engineer?
Love the fact that I'm a bookmaker and that the creative fruits of
my labor can be shared by millions!
