I created a watercolour and pencil illustration of the Pont Alexandre III Bridge in Paris, and added a vector image of a young woman depicting the customer of a private label cosmetics brand. I had forgotten how much I enjoy painting with watercolour. :)<br />

Gotta love the obscure objects provided each week for still life subjects. Everything from skulls, mannequins and household tools to plastic lawn geese. Below, the quirky goose portrait - a quick study of negative and positive space in charcoal. Next up was the creepy skeleton :)<br />

I am happy to say this is not because of lack of work but mostly the opposite. I have since acquired a regular column in Girl Talk Magazine from the UK for their monthly "how embarrassing cringe" column which aims to bring to life the reader's submissions of cringe worthy stories. Here is a recent drawing called Ping Pong Palaver. I have to say I have a lot of fun working on these :) Stay tuned...more to come as I catch up.<br />

A little on the history of Kokeshi...<br />
Based on the popular Japanese design, originally made with carved bits of leftover wood - a peg design, designed as a simple souvenir. Kokeshi have evolved into a kawaii (the culture of 'cuteness' in Japanese design) phenomenon throughout Japan and globally.

Artwork Cover for Dreaming Away with Percival Crumbly.<br />
I am delighted to have completed my first children's book with talented Toronto writer James Di Fiore. Created in watercolor and pencil, this project was both challenging and enjoyable as my goal was to create a visually engaging experience for an early reader audience (age 3) . Dreaming Away with Percival Crumbly encourages young children to dream and develop their imaginations.<br />
