One of my dearest projects recently was a baby book project for French publisher Auzou. I was lucky enough to create an animated board book for toddlers with them, aiming to show a few colorful images of the seasons. I greatly enjoyed working with colors in this one. Yellows for autumn, blues for winter and so on. I hope the little ones will like this little board book just as I do!

French publishing house Auzou always approaches me with the sweetest projects. As you may already noticed I always take joy in creating various animal characters and develop these throughout my book projects. One of my dearest jobs this year was this animal story book. I got picked for a story about a little chameleon and one about a peacock. Below you can find a few images of the birdlife I loved working on so much!

Poetry book published by Buvik in Slovakia in 2019 Zabiatko is a Slovak poetry classics for the tiniest readers. A collection of 23 poems by an all time favorite author Ludmila Podjavorinska was recently published by Buvik. I felt honored to illustrate such an essential part of children’s literature in Slovakia.

Very first book published in my newly found publishing studio Meda. Remembering my childhood times, when I used to spend hours just flipping through busy scenes books, looking at the illustrations and making up all these stories based on all the tiny details depicted, I decided it was time to make such a book myself. That’s how Let’s Explore Slovakia (Podme objavovat Slovensko) came into life. Telling a story of a little pig called Oliver, who sets on a great adventure exploring his own country with his friends, the book guides kids and their parents through the most significant place in Slovakia. Take a look!

This book was a real dream job! Working on a search and find project is always a treat, but working on one that includes all kinds of tiny vehicles and all kinds of tiny animal characters was a blast! Thanks to Editions Auzou I had an opportunity to do what I love the most again! Merci beaucoup!

A new book from the Let’s Explore series shows all the wonderful places in a picturesque country of Czech Republic. All the children are welcome to join little pig Oliver and his cousin Pepa on a new adventure exploring great sights in Prague, climbing the rocks in Adrspach, visiting mines in Ostrava or descending into the Macocha cave in Moravia. There is so much to do!

Below is a collection of illustration for Slovak publishing house Agemsoft that I created earlier this year. This handbook for elementary schools is covering all the important topics of finances. From first savings, currency exchange, accounts to buying a new house. It sounded really challenging at first, but once I started, it really became a very fun project to work on.
Take a look!
Alice in Wonderland

When asked by Yoyo Books to redo the Alice in Wonderland Book I did for them last year, I got a little nervous, as it is not every day that you get to recreate a book of your own. But I was in instantly, because you don't say no to Alice. Ever. I tried to chose the colors carefully and hold on to them very strictly. I also redrew most of the characters just for the fun of it. I hope I did well.
Jungle Book

Illustrating the Jungle Book must be a dream come true for most of illustrators. Creating a variety of characters and all of the flowers, plants and jungle surroundings is a joy itself. When approached by Yoyo Books publisher with this inquiry, I did a little victory dance inside. Below are a few images that I would like to share with you so you can see some of this lovely cooperation yourself.

Alice in Wonderland is one of the most enjoyable and at the same time quirkiest illustrator jobs one can imagine. Another lovely cooperation with Yoyo Books for me, although I have to admit I approached this one with a lot of respect in the beginning. However as my sketches and ideas progressed, I found myself enjoying this project so much, I was really sorry when I got to the end of the book.
