Nouvelles Images

I licensed out one of my illustrations (see IF: Hats) to the USA branch of the French company, Nouvelles Images as a holiday card a couple of months ago, and just noticed that it is now up on their website for sale in boxes of 6. See page 5 of boxed Holiday Cards. It is also available at some Museum's of Modern Art.

IF: Punchline

I had no idea what the girl was going to write on the chalkboard for "Punchline", but made it clear she had better think of something by the time her "set" was complete.
In the meantime i had been listening to Joanna Newsom and one of her lyrics is "it was a funny, funny little thing" and i thought, HeY! That's what a Punchline is... It's a funny little thing!

So there you have it.

IF: Forgotten

When a child's voice is taken away, the child is essentially forgotten. All children need and deserve a voice. Their own voice, thank you very much.

IF: Grow

The Girl followed the rather curious advice of The Ominous Voice and decided to try growing up.

IF: Captain

And so The Cloud That Speaks gathered his cloud friends and together they carried The Girl in her Ship through the vast Sky on her quest to discover where here is.

IF: Emergency - Birdie to the Rescue!

The Girl might have known better for although it appears some clouds can speak, it does not mean that little girls can fly.

IF: Missing

"But where is here?" The Girl cried at the top of her voice,
stomping her feet.
The Cloud That Speaks shuddered and sank
just a very little bit
and The Girl stared, waiting for the answer
with her hands placed firmly on her hips.
She was meaning business, it was quite evident!

IF: Moon - Scratchboard
