Ilja työskentelee parhaillaan kahden lastenkuvakirjan parissa:
Heimo Hatakan kirjoittama "Punainen" on kirja pienen norsun seikkailuista. Kirjan kuvitus on varsin hyvässä vaiheessa eli suurin osa kuvista on valmiina ja kustantajakin on jo löytynyt.
Jaana Lapon kirjoittama "Herra Maiskis" kertoo 5-vuotiaan pojan hankalasta suhteesta ruokaan. Melkein puolet kuvista on valmiina, mutta ahkerasti täytyy tehdä töitä, että kirja valmistuu jouluksi, kuten suunnitelmissa on.
Jaakko collaborated with Riikka Sormunen for We=Trouble group show. This and 11 other works by Riikka and/or Jaakko at Secret Project Robot in Brooklyn, NY in September.
