Reading time!

Look what I have got! A spectacular book with a very wise and to the point preface by David Hockney. He confirmed a conclusion we have reached with some other illustrators - friends: if you cannot draw you are an artist. If you can - you are an illustrator. You are also hanging there in a limbo between graduating from an art school and actually making a living.

Have a great weekend! There are some more fashiony collaborations on the horizon for next couple of months!

Now I am off to do some Friday evening socialising (hence the Chanel varnish!) Yay!

Capricorn girl in print

With Capricorn up it is time to feature a little illustration that I did for a horoscope feature in Twoj Styl magazine:

Ah well...

Some of the commissions are ment not to happen. I still like the drawing though! Please click on it to see the reaction of pigeons:

My birthday is coming up!

The best part of the winter is approaching - my birthday! I will be celebrating probably all week long though as my husband's bday is 2 days after mine!

Some drawings of Aquariuses for Twoj Styl's horoscope:

Summer will come...soon

Another set of illustrations for Twoj Styl magazine in Poland. Some more girly stuff about beauty preparations that we should start now for the summer. Do you recoginise the girl from my sketch?

January girl

All I need is a bikini and some free time in Bahamas... Soon I will show you the whole set of latest editorial illustrations this drawing comes from!

Insides of the star

A detail of the back of the cover:

Under a bright, happy star

The cover in flesh (but without flash...). More info in the publisher's website HERE.

A new cover

The production started in August so that after several versions a cover for a selection of Christmas short stories by top Polish writers was published in two versions - silver and gold. When I rushed to get it while in Kraków, in two bookshops I was told that it was sold out! A silver version was on display in Znak's own bookshop but the place was closed for Christmas so I had to get it somewhere elese ( I got a gold version and I promise to show it to you soon).

The ribbon is actually a photograph! The stars were designed in Illustrator and are based on folk christmas tree decorations.
