still not a princess...

Spent this weekend in the country… where I saw this little prince of a toad… isn’t he just the bees’ knees?

Oh! And the new Z and D illustration should be up later today… I’m just finishing off the last strokes…wish me luck!

big ideas come in small packages...

Did some brainstorming for the IF theme this week 'wrapped'... I experimented with the textures of wrapped materials such as plastics, paper... banana leaves.... the process gave fruit to ,hopefully, a great new addition to the Zoe and Dante saga so stay tuned!... well, back to drawing now...
Cheers!

Tokoekas riddled cave...

© Emily Grandin
The island of the birds is riddled with caves but the cave Tokoeka lives in is something special! At its foot the sea sweeps in, dark and rich with fish…

There is much to explore…
And when you get tiered of that there is nook for reading… or resting…




There are many other rooms, even one mysteriously filled with buckets of water…And when he is not inventing you may find Tokoeka dreaming away on one of the caves perilous ledges…


And last but not least, what would any respectable cave lair be if was not adorned by a craggy yet practical lookout tree…

Hope you enjoyed our guided tour! and come back soon...

new life...

I recently got home from visiting Montreal… I had the privilege while there to witness the first days of my dearest friend daughters’ life. Here is part of the card I made for her first day home. Cheers!
