IF: Chicken

I had quite a few illustrations to choose form for this week's Illustration Friday... This one was made over a year ago and it was the first etching I have ever made. The illustration itself is not perfect, kind of unfinished, but I feel very nostalgic about it. 

Illustration Friday: Mail

An illustration I did a year ago for Garlic and Sapphires collaboration with Creative Writers. It works perfect for this weeks Illustration Friday topic.

Long live the Chicken! Long live the Fox!

I got wonderful news about an illustration from my Fox and Chicken book that I submitted for the Macmillan picture book competition being chosen for the exhibition! I AM HAPPY! And I still cannot believe... I will have to say sorry to fox and chicken for the post from last week where I mentionned something about chicken roasts and foxes' skins.

Hurra!!!Jedna z ilustracji, nad którymi pracowałam przez ostatnie miesiące, i które w końcu wysłałam na konkurs (Macmillan Book Prize) dostała wyróżnienie i będzie brała udział w wystawie! Jestem najszczęśliwsza. I wciąż nie mogę uwierzyc.

matcha!

Today Via, who makes beautiful pictures, brought traditional japanese green tea to the studio. The tea is called matcha, has fantastic bright green colour and can be served with milk (which makes it even greener) . Delicious - said the fox and the hen nodded, blinking.

Dziś piłam najwspanialszą zieloną herbatę. Przyniosła ją do studio Via, która bardzo ładne obrazki rysuje, a poza tym pochodzi z Japonii, więc zna się na rzeczy. Herbata nazywa się matcha, ma wspaniały zielony kolor i można ją pic z mlekiem, co jeszcze dodaje jej zieloności. Lis i kura też twierdzą, że herbata niczego sobie.

friday morning cappucino to go

A lot has changed recently. No more monday morning macchiato in. Actually I have become a big fan of take-away culture and learnt how to eat when walking and still have some pleasure form that. A few years ago I was terrified when I saw people having their coffee in a plastic cup on the way to the office and now I have most of my meals when walking from work to school or from school to work. I think this is britishness getting under my skin. It's amazing how the culture you live in influences you, sometimes against your will. It won't be long until I wake up in the morning with a labrador by my bed and a landrover in front of my house!

The good point is - I finally have my own studio! My own little space where I can work and spread my foxes all around and I don't have to tidy them up before dinner.
The fox at the photo is my first ever screenprint.

po polsku wersja nastąpi. tylko właśnie muszę biec do pracy sprzedawac sobotnią kawę na wynos!
