This is my latest promo for the children's market, which I sent out as soon as we got back to Canada last month. I also recently updated my website with the new work I created while we were living in Sarajevo (I still haven't posted those pieces on my blog, but they're coming :) Check out my site here.

Cover illustration by Alyssa Nassner

I'm going to be part of Uppercase's Work/Life II book, an international directory of illustration. I really enjoyed the first book and am so excited to be a part of the second one. It will be available in February.

These pages are from our time in Paris. I really enjoyed the paper bags that the baguettes came in.

pages from my second travel journal, part 1

During the year and a half that my husband and I spent in Europe, I went through one and a half sketchbooks and 3 travel journals. I've posted work from my sketchbooks all along and I've already posted some pages from the 1st journal (here, here and here) that I filled while we were living in Scotland.

Here are some pages from my second travel journal, documenting the end of our time in the UK:

naples, ercolano, pompei, sorrento

Naples was an interesting experience - very chaotic and intense but a cool city to see nonetheless. They had the most delicious and affordable pizza. While there, we took day trips to Ercolano, Pompei and Sorrento. The ruins at Ercolano were very well preserved and were more interesting to me than the ones at Pompei, but Pompei was really impressive due to the size of the ruins there. Sorrento was beautiful with its rocky cliffs, but very touristic and a lot pricier than the other places we visited in that area.

These photos are all from the ruins in Ercolano:

bari, italy

We only spent a few days in Bari back in September, but we had a really great time. One of my favorite old towns was in Bari. It was a maze of skinny, winding streets full of religious shrines. We spent an afternoon taking photos of as many as we could find. We ended up with tons of photos, too many to post. Here's just a taste...
