My Work in 1000 Illustrations for Children!

It's been over a year since I got an email from the 1000 Illustration for Children book author Julia Schonlau saying she would like to include my work in her book. I almost forgot about it until my good friend Lenka http://issuu.com/portfoliolenka messaged me she found my illos in a book she just purchased :-) What a nice surprise! It really is a beautiful book! Thank you Julia, thank you Lenka!

Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

The Princess Tales

A week before Christmas, I have finished a very nice project I've been working on for the last few weeks. It's a book called The Princess Tales and includes all of the classics, such as Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Cinderella. A little theatre made of paper comes together with the book and it just looks so lovely altogether!

Got the copies of The Adventures of Robko and Zobko!

I have been included in the last Slovak Illustrators Association Catalogue!

I have the honor to be included in the ASIL Catalogue among so many wonderful Slovak illustrators! There is more pictures in the gallery here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.708254495853992.1073741832.409943245685120&type=1

PIKTO13 Ilustrator's Conference

Last weekend, I attended the wonderful event organized by Slovak Illustrator's Association - PIKTO13 Illustrator's Conference. It took place in Piestany, Slovakia and this was the second year the conference was held here. Eight speakers were invited to tell the auidence something about how to make a living out of illustrating. It was very inspirational to see that even in such a small country like Slovakia, there are people who did not give up and found their ways to earn a living by doing what they love. I hope the tradition of such a conference will live on and hopefully all of us can attend PIKTO14 next year!
