This blog was setup so I could chatter a bit more and include some "behind the scenes" footage of what I do. It's no secret that I LOVE children's books and alot of my inspiration and style comes from these books. In fact, I can't remember the last time I finished reading a grown-up book. So once a week, when I remember, I shall feature an illustrator that I like. This week, it will be the works of
Janet and Allan Ahlberg. You can tell that I really like an illustrator when I buy several of their books.
From "The Worm Book", a complete guide to your favourite pet. It's hilarious!
From 'Starting School". Love the wavy lines and watercolors.
Some of their more popular books include The Jolly Pocket Postman Series where the reader is able to open envelopes on every page to take out tiny notes and letters.
I just got back my out-of-print Barbapapa and Timbuctoo books, so 'til next week!

Pooped!
I work hard and I play hard and I'm pooped! Finished this in a caffeinated state of mind. I've always wanted to do a cat on a bookshelf although drawing staightish lines tends to drive me nuts as I can never get them aligned.
