Book Harvest in November!

I finally received the books I illustrated recently. I actually ordered them from an e-book store, because I could not wait any longer for my reference samples to arrive. All of these were published by Czech publisher Albatros recently. I am so proud of how they came out! Love to finally have the actual book home!

ABC Activity Book for iSeek ready to rock in Frankfurt

This year, I have decided to skip the Frankfurt Book Fair. I did attend last year and it was a great experience to be there, but it also taught me I am not a good fit to the German publishing market and that it would probably be better to stick with the Bologna Children's Book Fair and Montreuil Salon instead :-) What I did though was complete a few titles that will fight for the publisher's and editor's attention. Besides the Christmas Around the World book I did a few Activity Books. One of them is ABC Activity Book that I did for iSeek in cooperation with Illustopia Agency.

Christmas Around the World Book

I can't remember being so impatient waiting for a book to get back from printers in a very long time. The Chrismas Around the World book which will be published in November this year by major Czech publishing house Albatros was sent to printers last week and I can't wait for it to be done! Meanwhile I decided to upload a few illustrations from the book.

Prints for Exhibition

Not sure if I have mentioned this on here - but I''be taking part in illustration exhibition organized by Slovak Illustrators Association during the Bratislava Book Festival - BRAK. This is going to happen on the last weekend of May in Pisztory palace here in Bratislava. You can find more information here http://brakfestival.sk/. They do have some neat line-up.

So, I went to get some of my fresh work printed in the Calder design studio http://calder.sk/ as they do giclee prints regularly and I just love it. Took a few shots of the work for you - it is so much different to see your art on screen of the computer than seeing it printed, with the paper texture...ohhh. Take a look! See you at BRAK!

These illustrations were originally created for B4U Publishing http://www.b4upublishing.com/.

Easter Illustrations for Slunicko Magazine

From time to time, I just really love it when a short-term job comes in. I can fully focus on just the illustration part for a day or two and enjoy working, because there is usually less administration and emailing involved :-) Such case is always a very lovely cooperation with the Czech magazine Slunicko. This time they asked for a cover with Easter theme (already!). Loved it!
