BOOKS AND TULIPS

I have seen interesting exhibitions lately that I was not able to share on the blog yet. I'll start with the most recent one: Bologna Children's book fair I visited yesterday with my friends Giusi and Cristina. 
It was the fair last day and sadly many stands where closing. Nevertheless the full immersion in a sea of colors, people, editors, illlustrators/illustations and lovely children books was very well worth it.
One could loose oneself in there for ages, so a lot of time, a huge bag to collect materials and good will for long walks and standing time is needed.

The pictures you see here are not all good -I admit it- I share them purely out of sentimental reasons. Next year I must take Mrs Canon with me, for better results.
The day ended with a lovely surprise: I was given a huge bouquet of gorgeous flowers by a Dutch pubblisher Walking with it made taking pictures with my phone unbereable. But hey, are those flowers not gorgeous? It's such a joy to have them (split in two vases) in my home now.

Come and see the Children's book fair in 2013 if you can. Every year the fair hosts a illustration contest and this year, in occasion of its 50th anniversary, there was a special exhibition dedicated to Swedish illustrations. Lovely.

Unfortunately stomach flu did come in the way. We must now wait another year to give it a go again.

W.I.P. | PORTRAIT GALLERy

For the ones wondering what happened to Portrait Gallery, here's a little work-in-progress-peek for you. Drawing at first stages so it might change a lot.
I was given by Marta a lovely picture to work from, that turned to be a huge source of inspiration. 

STRANDBEEST

" Since 1990 I have been occupied creating new form of life "

Theo Jansen

When winter is turning to its end I love to go to the sea and walk on the beach. I love it when it's empty, still a little cold, with wind and sun, the prelude to spring and summer days yet to come. I wish I could do that walking beside one of the strandbeesten {beach animals} by Dutch artist Theo Jansen. One day, maybe...
