Circular paper decorations spread across a table, each painted with watercolour swirls in blues and yellows. There’s a black ink lined drawing of a violin and bow on each one. Pencil crayoned music lines with notes in blues, greens and pinks come out of each violin. One is strung with a yellow ribbon for hanging the rest are waiting to get their ribbons.

Beige background with the left half showing the front cover of Levi’s Gift. A young man playing a violin is in the centre with music swirls coming out of the violin in punks and yellows. The back ground in blue watercolour and there is a young girls dancing with a violin in the top left corner. The other half explains the details of the book launch.

Paper ornaments made from music practise paintings for Levi’s Gift. Enjoyed the playfulness making these.

Ornaments will be at our book launch this Sunday @918bathurst from 2-3:30!

Hey illustrators/agents!

I’m a #kidlit art director starting work on a new picture book—we’re looking for: expressive, commercial, human characters; texture (printmakingish); AND BATS! Lively, active, swarming BATS!

Please respond w/ samples + folio link.
Please no emails/DMs.
