With this igloo I have decided to do more of snowy owls, polar bears, seals, penguins and ermines. I can smell a frosty book!
Have a better 2021!
I am sure all of us stepped into 2021 with hopes for a brighter year. Seems like we might have to wait for the sunshine for a while. I do hope you can find a way how to make the waiting bearable - I myself will surely continue creating animal homes and houses. Sending you a virtual hug and a pine cone squirrel house! Take care!

School Book Goes to Print
A book about schol goes off to the printers! Up next are a few Christmas titles, yay! From my personal experience it is much better to work on these icy books in February than in August (been there, done that). Just in case you needed to know. I'll keep you posted!

Princess Stickers by Auzou Out and About
So here I go - a girl raised on legos, electric trains and car race tracks illustrates a set of sweet pink stickers of princesses. I have no clue how this happened to me! Haha! But it was fun and I always enjoy working with the lovely people at Auzou so much that I couldn't resist taking this on! I hope I coped with dignity, keeping the six year old me in mind! You can purchase online on amazon.
Farm Animals Project
I started working on a new project this week and it happens to be a card game full of farm animals for kids. I won't lie to you - it's fun to create all of these characters! Will keep you posted on this, yay!
Notebook Covers Illustrations
I just wanted to do a quick post on the series of notebook covers that I did for a client here in Slovakia recently. We decided to create a few designs concerning all the jobs that kids usually pick as they dream jobs with the usual surroundings. In the end, we had 7 colorful designs and hopefully the kids will like it as soon as they spot it in the stores. Let's keep fingers crossed!
Bedtime Stories WIP
Hello 2016!
Hello everybody! Hope you had a good start of the 2016! I've been so busy with work already, I honestly don't remember having such amount of work in January ever. Which is good, I know. And it's not a pain with all this fog outside my windows. I will definitely keep you posted on all the fun projects I will be working on. Happy days!
Princess Activity Book on the roll!
Last couple of days, I did my best to finish all the work there was to be done before the big event - the Frankfurt Book Fair. One of the lovely titles I was working on, is Princess Activity Book. I did this in coop with Illustopia Agency
Christmas in Summer
Hello there! Long time no see! :-) I have been super busy with this beautiful illustrated project, can't wait to show you more, but I'm afraid it won't be for a while. It is a bit hard to relate to the Christmas themes at this time of a year (38C at the moment here in Bratislava). But it's fun!
In the Classroom!
Just a quick illustration piece I did for Portuguese organisation Historias Ajudaris http://site.ajudaris.org/historias-da-ajudaris/
Could use a fan in my studio!
Just a little piece of personal work to express how I would like to feel today (don't have a fan in my studio. yet)
Busy, busy, busy!
Long time no see! I know! Just when I thought it's going to be a slow summer (and I decided to sign up for an intensive French language course), I received so many project proposals I don't even know what my name is anymore. These illustrations come from come from very fun projects- two activity books for preschoolers. Thanks to my wonderful agent Ines Silva from illustopia, I have been able to work on several of these and hopefully there will be more in the future. Hope you like them!
Busy Town Puzzle
Here's the thing - I've been waiting a year to share this illustration with you. I still think it was the most entertaining and lovable job of 2014 (for me, at least). One day, when I finally get the idea of how to have this much fun with every project, I will write a book about it. Meanwhile, we can all stick with this puzzle. Hopefully on sale soon (perhaps on Amazon, too). Happy day!
This all happened thanks to the great guys at Good Illustration and Karen Mennie from Glottogon.
New illustration for FOCUS PICO magazine!
Thanks to my wonderful agent Ines from Illustopia Agency, I have been able to keep working for an Italian magazine called Focus Pico for over a year now! I really enjoyed this one though, gave such a summerish feel to the brisk May days!
Started Monday of with Sketches!
Prints for Exhibition
Not sure if I have mentioned this on here - but I''be taking part in illustration exhibition organized by Slovak Illustrators Association during the Bratislava Book Festival - BRAK. This is going to happen on the last weekend of May in Pisztory palace here in Bratislava. You can find more information here http://brakfestival.sk/. They do have some neat line-up.
So, I went to get some of my fresh work printed in the Calder design studio http://calder.sk/ as they do giclee prints regularly and I just love it. Took a few shots of the work for you - it is so much different to see your art on screen of the computer than seeing it printed, with the paper texture...ohhh. Take a look! See you at BRAK!
These illustrations were originally created for B4U Publishing http://www.b4upublishing.com/.

Sneak Peek From a New Project
I have a very quick project on my work schedule this week - a farm activity book for kids. Here is a little sneak peek from the book - a farmhouse. I kind of wish there were a lot more objects to illustrate, haha :-)
