Joseph Fipps by Genevieve Godbout

A very, very belated post, but I still wanted to share with you a gorgeous children's book that I won last year, entitled Joseph Fipps, written by Nadine Robert in French, and illustrated by Genevieve Godbout.

Genevieve is a HUGELY talented illustrator currently working at Disney. She has done amazing and brilliant work including illustrating the Poketo x Disney range (so very gorgeous!), collaborated with Nadinoo for Anthropologie, collaborated with Audrey Grace boutique by illustrating Up the Wooden Hills' dresses, a Swedish clothing label available at the boutique, and has illustrated a number of children's books, including La longue marche des doudous and Où s'est caché le sommeil?.

Here are some photographs of Joseph Fipps! :)



Genevieve was VERY kind to not only sign her book and leave a lovely message, but also drew a lovely picture of Joseph Fipps in it for me!

Some more beautiful illustrations from the book, as seen on Genevieve's blog. Her beautiful and wonderful illustrations shine through in every page!











So gorgeous! Head over here to purchase Joseph Fipps!

Lily & Her Favourite Crocodile Squeaky Toy


This is an illustration of our always happy-go-lucky, sweet and sometimes naughty dog, Lily. We adopted her from DARG early last year (1 May 2012 - she was born 22 November 2011, so she was just 6 months old when we got her!) and she has quickly become very much a part of the family and a great late night buddy whilst I'm working. She is very besotted with her new favourite toy, a green squeaky crocodile, so we can always hear when she's coming!

Red Bull Collective Art Project


Recently, I took part in the Red Bull Collective Art project , in which creatives could choose a time slot and were given a limited hour or so to upload a piece that followed on from the previous creative's submission. This is my submission - it followed on from a piece entitled "Geometric World" by Dennis Sander. I was inspired to use simple, graphic shapes and incorporate a blue and red colour to hint at the Red Bull brand. I also tried to let the unique place I live in also inspire the piece, namely Cape Town, South Africa.

Airport Awesomeness II

I swear, one day I will somehow illustrate a kid's book around the topic of an airport. Love, love, LOVE airports. Yeah, weird, I know!

Some lovely design and illustration around flight, airports and air hostesses :)
