clairepas - calendar 2019

just to remind you that my 2019 calendar is ready, if you want a copy for you or to give someone as a present, there are some ready. email me: clairepas@gmail.com.

Anna Levine is the author of 'All eyes on Alexandra', the last picture book I illustrated for Kar-Ben Publisher that came out on August 2018.
In the Interview by Nicole Pyles Anna wrote very nice words about my work, and I discovered we are very similar in our creative process.

I think the way she 'enters' the reality she is going to write about is very similar to my way of getting closer to things when I start working on a new project. For example, if I have to draw trees, I go to the park and start sketching trees from real. It is like her pulling her boots and hat on :)
Of course she describes this much better than me in her post, so take a few minutes of your time, have a look and read!
Thanks Anna for your work, and writing these things about my illustrations.

Finally my new book 'All eyes on Alexandra' is published!
From August 1st you will find it in US book shops, and of course you can buy it online.
It has been great to look for pictures of cranes last Summer, when I was working on it, to sketch them end to go into the book athmosphere.
Thanks to Anna Levine for the nice text. I loved Alexandra's desire of independence, her rebel feeling and her detemination.
here you can find a nice review by Kirkus.
There is also a new FB page where you can find everything about the book (reviews and bookshop presentation appoinments).
And here I put a couple of interior illustrations just for you.
