Churchill In Bologna

I am so excited to have had the cover of my first picture book displayed at the Random House stand during  the Bologna Children's Book Fair this year. "Churchill's Tale of Tails" will be published by Jonathan Cape early next year :) Thanks to everyone that has sent pictures! I wish I could have been there with everyone!


And here is a little tip about the book's title. Everything begun with this quote:
"I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.” 
Winston Churchill

It's beginning to look a lot like... spring?

Lately...

...I have been drawing lovely French ladies from the '50s (and some american ones from the '60s). 

This made me look through my Paris pictures where I found these stunning window displays. Everything about them is inspiring: the composition (do I spot the golden ration there?), the light, the great colors. My '50s ladies would have probably loved these. :)
