The illustrators
The Passport booklet is illustrated by Asya Reznikov (cover emblem) and Noel Tanti (inside drawing ).
Asya Reznikov was born in Leningrad, USSR and moved to a small apartment near Boston when she was 5 years old. Her artwork explores how culture, tradition, language and sense of home shape and define our identity and how immigration / emigration and travel alters or illuminates that identity. www.asyareznikov.com
Noel Tanti likes to think of himself as a Jack-of-All / Master-of-None. He has painted, sculpted, written, acted, directed, danced and ran 13 miles, with various degrees of success. He showed most promise as a midwife for cats. His ambition is to become the greatest person you’ve never heard of. www.noeltanti.com
