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.

Entre nous

I am back from my visit in Poland! Every time when I arrive in Warszawa I direct my first steps to Miedzy Nami Cafe for their delicious food and friendly atmosphere. At the airport I bought a January issue of Twoj Styl with my latest illustration for an article about...lash extensions!

Merry Christmas!

I am going to spend Christmas in Poland this year, this time my trip is for more than just three days. I am going to visit my friends in Warsaw, stay with my mum for a week and fly back from Krakow just in time for Hogmanay.

A very Merry Christmas to all of you from The Illustrious Illustrator!

Interviewed!

I came across a very well written Polish fashion blog Fashion My Passion whose writer, Ania has a section there about fashion illustration. I have dropped her a short email (ah well, shameful selfpromotion but one has to find people somehow!) and the result of our correspondance is a short interview with me published on her blog this Monday. It features some of my favourites fahion illlustrations I did last year.

Thank you Ania for this very nice experience! It is always a pleaure to talk a little bit about Paris :) When I get my hands on these Chloe shoes I will definitely draw them!
