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!

Busy busy busy!

Long time no see! I know! Just when I thought it's going to be a slow summer (and I decided to sign up for an intensive French language course), I received so many project proposals I don't even know what my name is anymore. These illustrations come from come from very fun projects- two activity books for preschoolers. Thanks to my wonderful agent Ines Silva from illustopia, I have been able to work on several of these and hopefully there will be more in the future. Hope you like them!

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/.

New Book! Abecedario Maluco

Last week, I have received this colorful book in my mailbox - Abecedario Maluco, written by Luisa Ducla Soares, illustrated by me in cooperation with the wonderful Illustopia agency. I am really happy about it, took a few pictures with my phone this morning, hope you like them!

The Meadow

 

 

  

 

For the past few weeks, I have been working on this extremely illustrated board book project - The Meadow. It's another great cooperation with the wonderful folks at B4U Publishing - check out their website here, they have sooo many fab projects! 

Anyways, the book is full of bugs, bees, flowers and other plants, it's also very interactive - lots of peek-a-book holes, flaps to flip through, look and finds etc. It's really fun!

Will definately let you know when the book is available for purchasing! Happy Thursday!

So I finally got my profile on Behance and have uploaded quite a few projects Today, so if you like my work and would like to follow the things that I do, do check it out! See you there! :-)

Little house for Tuli vaky

I am so very happy I finally got the opportunity to try a different medium rather than paper. Thanks to Tuli vaky I was able to create a fabric design for these cute little houses by designer Michal Stasko. They are now being exhibited at the Nabytok a Byvanie 2015 fair in Nitra, Slovakia. Hope the kids like them! There even is a snail that says hello! There will be more, so I will keep you posted!

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!

Happy! The big book of jobs is at the printers already! Great cooperation with the Axioma publishing from Prague, many thanks to the wonderful Ivana Kocmanova, who wrote and designed the book! It will soon be available in Czech republic and Slovakia.
