American design studio ALSO has issued illustrated book about those, who accompany creative geniuses in their daily life. Andy Warhol’s mother, George Washington’s dentist, Alfred Hitchcock’s wife, Al Capone’s mentor and Emily Dickinson’s dog are featured among others.

Chicago artists published The Who, the What, and the When: 65 Artists Illustrate the Secret Sidekicks of History about the wives, lovers, mothers, brothers, co-workers, friends and other less known company of the famous people in culture, art, and politics,” says Fastcocreate.com. The authors offer their own view on the success of these famous people and tell about those whom creative geniuses are obliged to for their achievements.

“We were thinking about the people who have helped us get to where we are and the role of sidekick that we’ve played in other people’s lives,” says Julia Rothman, ALSO’s illustrator.
