Koščki / Bits and pieces

Iz ozadja v ospredje: tik pred izidom je debitantski album kantavtorice Katarine Juvančič, ki nam je v dvojcu s kitaristom Dejanom Lapanjo pripravila nekaj velikega, silnega in globoko utripajočega, kar nosi naslov Selivke. Deset uglasbljenih zgodb desetih žensk bo zadonelo z vso močjo! Zelo sem vesela in počaščena, da sem naslovnici albuma in vsaki pesmi na njem lahko pridala svojo ilustracijo.
Zaenkrat le nekaj drobnih ozadij in črkopisja, še malo, še malo, pa bomo zagledali tudi ospredje.

From the background to the foreground: a great singer-songwriter Katarina Juvančič's debut album will be out very soon. Together with a guitarist Dejan Lapanja, she has made something incredibly powerful when she decided to set music to her poems that speak ten real stories of ten women. I'm utterly pleased to be a part of it with my illustrations for the album's cover and for each of the songs.
Only some tiny pieces from the background and a handlettering today, but the foreground will be seen very soon, too.

Gozdnata, rahlo vodnata: začetek / Forests and lakes: the beginning

Igra s sončnimi (ku)lisami in senčnimi (pre)progami, z robovi in prehodi, z gozdnimi globinami in jezerskim šumenjem (tega še ni videti in slutiti, ampak je, tam globoko notri, (vedno), verjemite!): družim, slikam in pogovarjam se z novo zgodbo, ki je nekaj povsem drugega kot delo, ki sem ga pravkar zaključila. Avtorica tej zgodbi pravi "zgodbica", pa vendar se bo prelila čez nemalo strani in ravni.


Something new on my desk! It will take some time to work on these illustrations, but I'm excited. How wonderful it is to work on different projects. The illustrations here (will) belong to a new picture-book for children which will be something completely different than what I've just finished (and will be published soon, yay!).

Iz skicirke / From the sketchbook

Listam po skicirkah: misli, previte v podobe - kdaj tudi obratno, podobe, iz katerih poganjajo (raz)misli -, srečevanja z njimi doma, v knjigi, ki jo berem, v glasbi, ki je z mano, po pogovorih, zunaj, na sprehodu, med hitenjem skozi mesto, ko vendarle toliko obstanem, da si kaj zabeležim z vijugo ali dvema, na vožnji z vlakom, povsod. Hitri krokiji, lističi "da ne pozabim", dnevniški zapiski; nekateri med njimi so že doživeli udejanitev v ilustracijah, nekateri jo bodo danes, drugi nikdar. Kam bodo odšli ti?

Sketchbook memories: dialogue between thoughts and images, quick croquis made at home while reading a book or living with music or writing a poem or thinking about (some)things, as well as on my ways through meadows and towns. Some ideas have already found their way to illustrations, some of them will do it today, some probably never. Where will they go?
