Full skirts

Mrs. Pomeranz

Licia Florio

Full skirts have the most flattering and feminine shape. And when I found out about these two pretties from Mrs. Pomeranz, a russian brand based in London and Moscow, and Licia Florio, an Italian designer, I couldn't resist long !

Just so you know, Dasha, from Mrs Pomeranz, also sells her beautiful dresses on ASOS Marketplace. Go and have a look !

*****

Euh... j'oublie ma propre langue. C'est quoi "full skirt" en francais ?

Voici des dessins de jolies robes trouve sur Mrs Pomeranz, une marque russe qui fabrique des interpretations orginales de modeles vintage des annees 50, et Licia Florio une designer italienne.

Dasha, de Mrs Pomeranz, vend aussi sur ASOS Marketplace. Allez y jeter un coup d'oeil !

Petit ourson

A while ago the publishing company Les 400 coups offered me to illustrate a book with the sweetest story. Now it's all done, here's a little sneak peak of my work...

A little bear can't find sleep during winter.

Written by Pierrette Dube.

Il y a un moment de cela, les editions Les 400 coups m'ont propose un projet d'album dont l'histoire m'a charme de suite. Voici un petit apercu avant la parution prochainement...

Un ourson n'arrive a dormir pendant l'hiver.

Up The Wooden Hills dress

A couple of weeks ago, a lady called Jaclyn Bethany offered me to illustrate the fictional character of her sweet boutique called Audrey Grace. It will stock vintage beauties as well as some of today's prettiest designer clothes. If you are as girly as me I strongly suggest you have a sneaky look !

Jaclyn will also sell some of my prints which you can see here and there. Any interest at all please do not hesitate to contact either of us.

You can also find some of my dear friend Ale's work for the boutique here !

Oh and for those who know me I couldn't resist to draw my favorite Chie Mihara shoes ! The perfect everyday heeled loafer. Worth every single penny. Honestly.

A sweet collaboration- Nadinoo

As you may know by now, I'm working closely with Nadia Izruna, from the gorgeous British clothe label Nadinoo. You'll see more of her sweet creations in the coming illustrations of Adèle, from Rose à Petits Pois. But in the meantime, here is an interview of myself on her blog here as well as some wood panels I made specially for her !
Ladies, if you're looking for the cutest summer dress, I strongly suggest this beauty which I bought for myself a few weeks ago :-)

Oh and by the way, I also did an interview on the Character Design blog. Thanks Randall for your patience and time !!! I know I took so long to answer all your questions !

Voici un autre projet sur lequel je travaille en ce moment. À vrai dire, ça mijote dans la tête de Nadine Robert depuis 2 ans déjà... J'avais fait quelques tests à l'époque sur une certaine Nanouche qui a tout doucement évolué vers Joseph Fipps !

La bonne nouvelle, c'est que Nadine et moi avons eu la confirmation que les aventures de ce petit garcon prendront la forme d'un album jeunesse aux éditions La Pastèque !!!

Un premier livre pour elle comme pour moi, ça se célèbre non ?

Que l'aventure commence !

***

Here's another project I'm working on at the moment. To say the truth Nadine Robert has been thinking about for at least 2 years... Back in time I helped her creating Nanouche who has slowly evolved into Joseph Fipps !

The good news is that it will finally be published with La Pasteque, a publishing company based in Montreal !!!

A first book for both of us, what a good reason to celebrate !

Let the adventure begins !

Art blocks for Ghana.

2011-03-17T12:47:00.007Z

There're only a few days left before the end of Auction for the Art Blocks for Ghana. Surely you don't want to miss the chance to own one of these beautiful blocks, hum ?

The Picture Book Project is a non-profit organization and all funds will help to provide boarding and education for orphaned children in Ghana, West Africa.

Don't wait anymore ! To see all the blocks click here.

You can also have a look at my contribution here.

**edit: I'd love to know who bought it in the end ? I'm too curious... :-)

I thought it was about time to update this blog. Don't you think ?

But beware guys ! It's a very girly post.

As you may have noticed, I'm working on a book with a friend/writer which will be called Rose à Petits Pois (yes, like the blog !).

Everything is still very much work in progress and we still

have to find a publishing company interested in our project... But the story is utterly charming and hopefully I shall do it justice with my illustrations...

But before I show you more drawings, I wished to share with you the work of someone who really inspires

me. Her name is Nadia Izruna and she is the one behind the beautiful British label Nadinoo. (Ladies, if you don't know her already, I suggest you have a look at her beautiful FW2010 collection on Nadinoo.com !)

I admire her work because I'm simply in love with it (I could wear every single piece of her collection), but also because it takes courage, commitment and faith to start your very own company like she did. It's a pleasure to see such individuals working for what they truly love and doing it so well !

For of all these reasons, I wanted the main character of the book, Adèle, to be wearing Nadinoo. And it simply suits her so well ! (Thanks Nadia !)

The feminine shapes and patterns of all her clothes are lovely and really interesting to draw. I cant' wait to do the whole book !

Adèle definitely has a wardrobe to die for.

Happy Christmas !

This is my participation for the Art Block for Ghana, a beautiful project from which all funds will help build a school/house for orphaned children in Ghana, West Africa.

The theme was "home".

This represents my sister and I when we were little hiding underneath the table during tea time. I've been really inspired by the impressionism movement lately and a certain nostalgia of the 19th Century (reading many wonderful novels from that period).

I didn't planned to do something so personal for this project.....

And I feel a bit sad now to let it go to auction ... But who knows, my mom may want to buy it in the end ?!

This is a sneak peek of a children book which I'm working on with a writer and friend. Any comments or critics are most welcomed !
Hopefully we'll find a publishing company soon !
