Vintage computers, and a bee – Letter from the studio, May 2025

This month (as opposed to the last) I found a lot to choose from, both art-wise and photo-wise, so here’s an eclectic mix – plus our artist of the month. Enjoy! :)

Surprising wins of sending out a printed children’s books portfolio

…Featuring cute woodland creatures on the mailer 😊️

Drawing makeover! The little prince and the fox

New portfolio piece: Girls in a tree

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 :)

‘Loukoum and the Quince Quest’ submitted to Unpublished Picture Book Showcase 2023

Just before going on holidays I finished putting together my submission to this year’s Unpublished Picture Book Showcase!

Testing new art supplies in my sketchbook: Happy, wintery little girl

I did not expect it to take that long, but at least I made something cute :)
