I’m loving:
Have a fantastically beautiful weekend. xo.
More daily drawings using lino cut stamps.
Happy Thursday to you all. I hope to take Henry to the Botanical Gardens this afternoon to run amidst the cherry blossom trees. There could not be anything better than seeing him do that.
I’m a fan of change and yet I find it really intimidating until the change become reality. We’re dealing with some big logistical changes in our lives and careers and I can’t seem to get zen about them. I like all ducks in a row!
I found time to do some drawings the other night amongst freelance work, day job, mom stuff etc. (what a complainer I am!). I feel it’s really important to sit down at the drawing table and zone in a bit even if there’s chaos all around me. Anyway, I’ve been playing around with some custom stamps I had made of some drawings (the jewels). I also carved some small linoleum designs (the lightning bolt hair clip) to print with, that I’ll share later this week.
I recently asked Oliver Jeffers, one of my new favorite illustrators to answer some questions about his work. Oliver just launched a new site. Be sure to visit his shop and A World With Coffee project. I know you’ll be as obsessed with his work as I am! See more of my favorite images below the following interview:
1. Have you always loved art?
Yes I have always loved art, though I wasn’t always particularly knowledgeable or eloquent about why.
2. When you were little what was your favorite material to use?
Blue paint. On anything that didn’t move. And some things that did.
3. What made you decide to be an illustrator?
The thought that people would pay me to draw pictures was too good not to try.
