First Day at Pre-School

...sigh!   An exciting and nervous day...for me.  He loved it!

Recent work for Children's Bookstore - Tirtil Kids

You might have guessed that I have been busy again...and not quite able to keep up with everything!!

This is some recent work that I have been doing for Tirtil Kids - the wonderful children's book store in Istanbul. 

This one above was a bit of a challenge -it took me a while to figure out how to communicate this message in illustration - but I was really happy with the final concept  :)

They are doing so many exciting things at the moment - I am so impressed everytime I hear from them!!  The one above was for a reading done by actress and singer Şevval Sam.

Above was the little gingerbread village I did for the holiday season.

I hope you are all well and enjoying a great start to the year!

a summery christmas

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! Ours was very different from the past 2 wintery ones we had in Istanbul!

We headed down to Melbourne to spend time with family, including a beautiful break down on the Surf Coast - where Yashar had fun at the beach with his cousins.  This was one early evening we went down to the beach.  The weather was nice but, as usual, the ocean was cold!...it is definitely no mediterranean  :)

So I got Yashar all rugged up to turn those lips back from blue to pink after his swim.
