The 15th of july 2009

It should be the day my book
"Mamie-Mélo et les oiseaux" comes out !
One more month to wait ;-)

Children's book project

Ojni worked on 2 others illustrations for my story
"Little frogs, big mystery".
Click on the images to see them full size.
Now the project is looking for an editor ! We crosse our fingers...

Why not ?

A few months ago, I started to write my first stories.
A few days ago I fall in love with Ojni's frogs.
I wrote her a story, she enjoyed it and started to illustrate it.
The title would be in english "Little frogs, big mystery".

Working on the Chocolate Cow

Soup Contest

I did this illustration for a contest organized by a french bookshop "La soupe de l'espace".
The theme was "Soups"

My soup is a pebbles soup, it is for the big bad wolf.
Hop o' My Thumb prepared it to venge her lover The Lillte Red Riding Wood...

Vache Chocolat - Chocolate Cow

The future cover of the book !

To be published in french in July...
I still have 9 illustrations to work on !

A child, a story

At the beginning, children gave a theme for a story they would love to have.
Authors and illustrators, prepared them THEIR stories.
I worked with Caroline Barber on "Rue des Haricots", I tried a knew way to illustrate.
Here is one part of the first illustration.

The complete story is here (in french...)
The other stories can be seen from this forum.

New home for my online book

With all the nowadays good news, my porfolio's home needed a relooking.

Now it is much more clear, and I like it ;-)

Another book for this summer 2009

I enjoyed illustrating these cute pink cheeks !
