My blog has moved! Please follow my new one on tumblr ->

See you there :) !

No 27 // News, news, news!

Long time no see, I guess. That didn't mean I wasn't active, though.
I've got some news for you!

1) I've got a homepage now! -> www.paraplue-illustration.com
There's still some sections I want to make nicer, but all in all it's done. Feel free to pay it a visit!
I will still keep this blog as a part of the homepage, though.

2) Some of my illustrations have been published! You can check them out on the homepage under "published work".

3) I'm now studying Scandinavian and German studies since last October.  Not because I want to stop doing Illustration/Design (hell, no!) but Scandinavian studies have always been my second choice and I felt like I would have regretted not doing it. It's a bit stressful to coordinate university and illustration stuff, but I still love it a lot.  I'm soon beginning my fourth semester of Norwegian (I already started learning it before starting to study the subject) and am already quite good :)!

4) I'm going to take part in the 1st transfer comicfestival in Dortmund next weekend, both showing some of my work at the exhibition and also having a little presentation, together with Lara and Udo. (http://transfer-dortmund.de/veranstaltungen/comicfestival-bei-transfer)

I guess that's it for now. I will upload new stuff soon, as I'm doing some stuff for my portfolio for Bologna children's book fair in March :> !

No 26 // Thank you!

The exhibition was great! Thanks for stopping by and for all your kind words. But what made me most happy were all the smiles and sometimes even laughs I saw on people's faces when they read my book :).

Now that all the stress is over, I will soon start working on my first "proper" homepage - stay tuned!

No 25 // Almost done!

The books are bound and the postcards (I'll be selling at the exhibition) are printed. I'm slowly beginning to get nervous...

No 24 // Cover and Endpaper!

I'm a bit nervous since tomorrow I will get the printed pages.

This is my cover, by the way:

 

And those are the endpaper illustrations:

No 23 // Time travelling

I'm finally done with the pages! Only cover and endpaper to go. These are two pages everyone always likes when I show them the book .

(Sometimes she travels just for fun)

(or to walk the dog)

No 22 // Professor Ypsilon strikes again

Another double-page which I like a lot (still without text, obviously). The project is going quite well! And of course Professor Ypsilon kept her name, except that I changed it from "Y" to "Ypsilon" (which is the German word for "Y"). What did I even expect.
