summer pond . . .

July. If there was a rewind button on this summer... I would start over. I worked all the way through my favourite month (and, sadly, not on anything I can show and tell about).
I'll try to be more present in August... and I'll start by showing you my new print. In love with the greens and the yellows at the moment.

my magic kitchen . . .

Hello! It's been such a long time since I had a chance to visit. I wish I could tell you I've been summer adventuring or doing something exiting, but, the truth is... I've been working. Just working hard...in my air-conditioned studio...looking out onto steamy summer fun outside.
Today, though, I've got a kitchen design to share with you. I promised myself not to draw any apples, and I kept that promise. It's almost like an herb kitchen. I hope you'll find these colours - delicious!

grow over, grow under . . .

Building this organic abstract was like piling colourful rocks one on top of the other. Very much like play time.
Notice... not a single face in the abstract pattern. Now... that's self control! Of course, I followed up with a nursery illustration, where I've relaxed and added a few faces:).

watching fireworks . . .

These people are watching fireworks. Everybody loves fireworks! Exiting stuff:).

childhood walls . . .

It turned out to be one of these 'more is more' patterns. I would have loved to have something like this as a wallpaper in my room when I was a child. It would be fun to look at and make up stories about all the characters (during that "I'm not sleepy and I will not go to bed" period). The wallpaper in my room was rather boring, but I still remember it. I wonder if I can somehow sneak into someones childhood with my little characters:).
