My thanks to Hannah Stephenson at The Storialist for introducing me to Jeffers's artwork. A monograph of Jeffers's paintings, collages, installations, and collaborative works, Neither Here Nor There: The Art of Oliver Jeffers, was published by Gestalten in 2012. A limited-edition of the mongraph is available through Jeffers's Website, where you'll also find images of a selection of his paintings.

Love it! Thanks so much for sharing it Maureen -- you and Glynn both started my day with a smile. Thank you :)
I just love his work! We gave Stuck as a gift to our friends' little son...he loved it! It's so sweet.
