Brodet alla nonna :)

Here's my latest submission to TDAC called Brodet. It's a yummy treat for all the sea food lovers out there :)
 If you decide to make it one day let me know how you liked it and how it turned up...just remember, while cooking this amazing dish you NEVER stir but always SHAKE the pan! It's rule No.1 in making it!

Hope you enjoy my illustrated version!

Three Piglets :)

Hello everyone!

I know I've been absent for a long time, it's summer here and I have been enjoying every second of it so far. Going to the beach every day with my family is awesome but tiresome too, at least we all have a good night rest after such a well spent day :)
I did however prepared something very summery for all of you. I have decided for the 1st time to turn one of my black & white enigmatic illustration into a proper coloured one....I like the result and would love to hear your thoughts on it too, so don't feel ashamed to leave me a comment! :)

I'm sending warm hugs to each & every one of you out there and wishing you a wonderful summer!

2nd piece for the Grimm Exhibition-Hansel & Gretel

Hiya guys,

been very busy and still am, so just wanna show you all my 2nd Hansel & Gretel piece for the Grimm's exhibition. I chose to illustrate the part of the story where Hansel is leaving bread crumbs behind so they could find their way home-but to no avail, since the birds are gonna eat up the crumbs trail :)
I was debating whether to illustrate this part of the story or the one where Gretel throws the evil witch into the burning furnace...but I decided upon this one, since to me the bread crumbs were always the highlight of the entire story :)
Anyways, hope you'll like it :)

Cheers,
Ant

Sneak peak-My version of Gretel by Grimm :)

Hello, hello! :)
I have decided to share with you all what I have been working on lately. Meet my version of Gretel by the Grimm brothers! She's brave & clever...and even though she was scared of the witch who's was about to eat her little brother Hansel she had to be brave to overcome her fear and throw that evil old lady into the fire oven! Hansel & Gretel was one of my favourite tales by the Grimms therefore I have decided to do illustration/s of this fairytale for the upcoming exhibition tributing 200yr of the Grimm brothers. The exhibition will be travelling from Šibenik (2012) to Interliber (2012) to Frankfurt (2012) and finally to Bologna (2013). You can participate as well even tho you're a foreign illustrator and see their submission guidelines HERE.
I'm working on the whole piece at the moment so when I'm done with it I will show it to you guys.

Wishing you all a great weekend in the meantime!

xoxo

Poster for 10.Hand Made Fest in Pula, Cro

Hiya guys!

I have been neglecting my blog for far too long...but that only means I'm busy, busy :)
Well finished one thing and straight on to the other...but I'm happy when I'm having loads of work and having great fun along. So there is a competition going on here on designing a poster and later all that follows (banners, flyers...etc) for our biggest Hand Made Festival which is growing bigger and bigger every year and is now nationally well reckognized as one of the most imaginative & creative one. I have decided to participate this year and the call was for all types of artists to participate and create something unique for this year. Well this is my entry!It's an octopus who herself is handmade but she's also a great help while she's being made-multifunctional :))
In my opinion creations should fulfill not the decorative part alone but the functional one as well...and there are so many creative ideas and creations out there I thought I should make a virtual one too :)) What better that an octopus who is multitasking with her super 8 tentacles! Lol

I have to run with my other errands but I really hope you enjoy my poster ilustration :)

Cheers!
