The River Boardbook











Long time no see! I know! Been doing quite a lot of traveling this Summer, I really needed a break. The good news is - I've been able to get back on track and start fresh with new projects on my desk. This one is a cute board-book on how the river goes from the source to the mouth. Hope to see the real thing soon as it is a nice cut out and should look real good once it's done. Until then - a few illos for you to see what's up :-)

The Little Dreams









Last night, I have finally finished a book project that I've been working on for quite a while now. It's going to be a big book about jobs and what we wanted to become when we were little. I've met so many kids who said they'd like to become a garbage man when they grow up! Unbelievable! Anyways, here a are a few shots from the book.

Work in progress / Book about all kinds of jobs



So here I am, working still in these horrid temperatures, 36C yesterday here in Bratislava. But this book is fun! I only have 3 more illustrations to go though - not sure why I always leave the most complicated assignments to the last minute (I seriously have no clue how it looks inside of a chocolate factory, google is my best friend now). Will keep you posted on this!

New Title Ahead!


Recently, I've been working on a new title - I have finally been assigned a project where I can fully develop these huge seeking illustrations. The title is about jobs and things that people do. The publisher has given me wonderful topics and themes to work with and I can't wait to see how it will come out. Yay!

Práve sa chystám na cestu do Prahy na knižný veľtrh Svět knihy. V nedeľu doobeda o 10 hod. budeme o knižke v stánku vydavateľstva Albatros besedovať a workshopovať.

The Olympics!






A little help for children learning how to count - animal olympic sports! I actually got quite confused when I automatically made a 3 mice kayak and then I realize - wait - have I ever seen 3 people in a kayak at all? Had to google it. Relief! It does exist! :-) Haha, oh yees, work overload!

Who Lives in Pineapple... oh wait!



 A couple of weeks ago I've been assigned a nice little project - illustrated activity book for little kids who go on a vacation with their parents and might get a bit bored on the plane :-) (the client was a travel agent). This is how it turned out. What do you think?

 

 I actually quite like the crocodile at the talent show! Guess who the judges are!




The Book Launch!


My very fist book "Jak velbloud potkal tavu"was launched Yesterday in Maritnus bookstore in Bratislava. It was a very lovely evening, we shared some good laugh and I think everybody had a good time. I can't say how much I'd like to thank the great girls, Lucia Hlubenova from Albatros publishing house and Jana Slinska from the Martinus bookstores, who took care of this lovely event! I am also very happy that Pista Vandal and Dado Nagy agreed to be a part of the launch, they did such a good job on entertaining the crowd! Hope to do this again sometime! Thanks for coming everyone!

My Book is Out!


 

 Yesterday I finally got my very first book - one that I have both written and illustrated. There's lots of funny illustrations, lots of colours. I had the honour to cooperate with the wonderful and talented Martina Rozinajova, who did the graphic design of the book. Check more of her work at www.rozinajova.sk. I am also very grateful for being able to have the book published by Albatrosmedia - it was a great cooperation, thank you! The book will be sold in both Czech republic and Slovakia, so in case you would like to get one, there is no easier way than browsing the web - you can buy one for instance here.
