Finally finished my #kidlitartpostcard , fashionably late. It is also #illoagency ‘s october prompt; #artforcause.
Another illustration for @illoagency ‘ november prompt #fallingthroughtime
It took me 3 days and 18hours of active working to complete this Downton Abbey inspired picnic scene, in which I used many references from oil paintings. I hope you will enjoy it as much as i do! #kidlitart

While I was looking to my childhood memories for @illoagency ‘s November prompt #fallingthroughtime , i remembered the ladies of my grandmother’s village and their now long gone houses. One single level house on her street had a very old mulberry tree, and my grandma a prune tree.

The best tip (imo) for illustrated books: never repeat what's in the text in the image. Always add something to the narrative in the image. Think of the art and words as two widgets in a machine with slightly different jobs that work together to make the machine work.

Finally, today I finished the illustrations of one of the book projects i am working in. I can not share any sneak-peaks, but i can share my lovely « cloudy day office » view which have helped me through this intense working months. Illustration is unrelated, from my portrait business.

I just realized that I forgot to share the amazing educational circus pedagogy book i had the chance to illustrate over a year and a half ago. Written by circus educators and health workers from 3 different european countries, it is amazing to read how circus can help to deal with struggles.

It is a spring weather here in Belgium. But it snows in Istanbul. I think it is a perfect time to share this recent #kidlitart ; a first snow day’s joy in Istanbul.
