The Snack

I love those fishy Asian chips!!!! I cherish every single one of them so imagine the horror when I drop one on the floor!

Rat de Bibliotheque

Hard at work

(self portrait)

How do we make babies?

La fete foraine!

I've always wanted to try one of those! Doesn't it look like fun?

...and then, 

I wanted to try another colour test...more of a vintage feel. someone's childhood memories...

Le Loup!

based on another french song ' Where is the wolf'?!

Busy Dreams

My sister's a heavy sleeper but also kicks and yells in her sleep!

How to survive winter

its getting colder and colder....there's no other solution than 'LAYERS'!!!

St Lawrence Market

Who doesn't love a stroll in the market on the Saturday rush!

"Il court il court, le furet"

and another song!!! I'm on a role!

I'll be posting more and more until I run out of songs! suggestions are welcomed! ^^

Colonie de vacances

From a childhood French song we'd sing when going on a class field trip!
nostalgia!

Tokyo Map

This particular illustration took me hours to finish! but here it is!....it isn't quite finished though. I still have to colour it!

But it'll have to wait until I gain some courage to the colossal task!!!

The Goose Girl

Hi all!
I recently finished illustrations for a book to be published in March 2012 by Usborne Publishing in the UK.
It is a retold story of the Brother Grimm's "The Goose Girl".
These were all done with fountain brush and ink on paper, and coloured digitally.

Enjoy!

My latest book 'A Walk on the Tundra' is out and available online and in stores!

The story of a little girl learning about the importance of plants to Inuits.

Sushi Train ~ Kaiten zushi

a work in progress for a new book project

The Big Scary Monster

Here is a sample image of one of my latest books...

still a work in progress but I am pretty happy with the way it is turning out!

Sketching on the streets

Sketching with a fountain brush and ink is quite the challenge! Rushing to catch a silhouette walking by, while trying not to spill the ink...!!!

Yellow and pink

Tokyo

Morning! My feet in the water

This is what I felt like doing this morning....if only I lived near the sea!

Mark on the weekend

The Frame

Pirates~!!!!

Sauna

My sister and I discovered that there is a sauna room in our building! This place is addictive!!! Great for trivial chit chat too.

The Bunnies

My mom always buys me gifts whenever she comes back from China. I can say with confidence that we have similar tastes. However, the other day, I realized that the backpack she gave me had a pattern of bunnies! BUNNIES!!!! Imagine, at 27 years old, walking around with a backpack with a bunny pattern! The HORROR!

Kyoto

Last time I was in Kyoto was in summer 2009. I really wish I wasn't so busy running around, and had taken the time to sketch all the small alleys and old houses.

Catch that puppy library scene

This is for a childrens' book soon to be published with Mathew Price Inc. I wanted to create the same feel as the old 'where is waldo' books. Hours of work, but well worth it!

Street Fashion

I am a big fan of the Sartorialist, street photographer.

The styles some of these people have is just so inspiring, whether it's in their face, expression, colour combinations....

Japanese Garden

I just got a copy of the June edition of CHIRP magazine, where I had to draw a 'japanese maze'.
