This piece expands on another girl in a tree I painted beginning of last June for #kidlitartpostcard, a hashtag / initiative started by author and illustrator Gina Perry. In the USA it is/was usual for illustrators to regularly send postcards to publishers to advertise their work – this is the digital, online version :)
I’m planning on taking part in Gallery Nucleus’ classic open submission show, ‘Power in Numbers’, again this year (my piece from 2021 is still available, by the way ;)).
Just before going on holidays I finished putting together my submission to this year’s Unpublished Picture Book Showcase!
Devising a plan for my project for Tom Froese’s ‘The Style Class’, “a short-term daily creative project, where you will create a series of 26 illustrations, based on a theme of your choice, working in a specific illustration technique”.
In fact, for this project, my focus is not so much on theme or technique as on the third parameter: the context.
Another inspiration from the world of comics, but I had to include him because of one specific point.
Studying my target market 🔎️
Back to the roots of my artistic inspiration – Part two :)
Inspired by a K-pop music video, this sketchbook painting also happens to come at the perfect time for the “Mermay” social media challenge :)
