Thank you so much!

Do you illustrate for children's books at all or do you do the illustrations in spare time?

I'm doing these illustration in my spare time In a few months I'm going to study Production Design at the Film Academy in the Netherlands, and I probably have to draw a lot then. But my dream would be working at Disney or Pixar to combine the Production Design and the Illustration

Thank you for introducing us to your pictures, but Let's try to keep the thread on topic by posting illustrations from actual children's books

^marvy, those are amazing.! . . I'd love to imagine the 2nd + 7th 'shoe' pictures blown up to insanely massive proportions . . to be able to scrutinize every little detail. I love the personality she gave to each pair.
I think that would keep me mesmerized for a while.


* I stumbled upon this last week . . sounds like the perfect exhibition.
I've always had a soft spot for babar.
[its running at the morgan library & museum in ny until January 4, 2009 if anyone's interested]

drawing babar; early drafts + watercolors.

A dignified elephant, dressed in a green suit and wearing a yellow crown, walks upright across the page. This image—both absurd and endearing—has become instantly recognizable to several generations of readers throughout the world. The exhibition Drawing Babar returns visitors to the two essential moments of Babar's creation: when Jean de Brunhoff and, years later, his son Laurent, set down their initial thoughts on paper. Their earliest drafts, shown in juxtaposition with their finished watercolors, allow viewers to track the changes, both subtle and substantive, that both men made as they refined their work, bringing together word and image with elegance and exuberance.

lovely shots these two ^
i was thinking , how the cartoon didn't appeal to me as much
the way the colours are too bright and as if they only use the primaries ..
blue+yellow+red .. these are a lot softer in the watercolour
much nicer feel
& more 'english' even

thanks for the new pictures glad this thraed's still alive

I love Miroslav Sasek. A lot of cartoon network's cartoon characters seem to be a similar style.
