My Very First Book Went off to Print


I am so excited - my very first book (I am both the author and illustrator this time!) went off to print Today. It is a Czech-Slovak picture dictionary for children called "Jak velbloud potkal tavu". The book should be published on 7th of April. I really enjoyed the cooperation with the publisher - Albatros from Czech republic. Everyone was very nice to work with. Special thanks to a patient graphic designer Martina Rozinajova at www.rozinajova.sk
Yay!

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!

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!
