Sofa i Stepinjak

Ovo je Sofa, sedi za stolom i pije mleko i nosi velike pufnaste papuče koje se ne vide na crtežu. Ja sam bila malo u nedoumici da li da uopšte objavljujem ovaj rad, međutim Sofi se toliko svideo da sam morala da ga stavim u svoj post. Kaže da mnogo liči na nju, u šta ja pomalo sumnjam. I Kisa dobacije: "ALI STVARNO LIČI!" Pa, ako one tako kažu, neka bude... Stepinjak je jedan deo našeg dvorišta sa jelkama, brezama, jorgovanom i lešnikom i Faminom (naš pas) kućom u kojoj ona ne živi. Naziv je doobio po ličnosti iz Kisine i Sofine mašte. To je Stepa, koja ima 16 godina, živi sa mamom, ide u školu i njena najbolja drugarica je Lindrana. Stepa je rumena, plava (nosi kiku na stranu) i debeljuškasta. Oblači se u narodnu nošnju. U stvari Stepa ima 46 godina, ali se radnja igre dešava u prošlosti, kad je ona imala 16 (ovo sam jedva shvatila). Stepi u posetu često dolazi njena rođaka Povrenija iz Gruže. Tako da je Stepinjak jedno posebno mesto gde se odigrava ceo Stepin život.

Slatka mala izvrnuta torto

Nisam baš sasvim sigurna u koju bi kategoriju trebalo svrstati ove moje nove radove. Oni su kombinacija crteža i kolaža, odnosno figure izrezane od kartona. Ponekad ni sama ne znam šta da mislim o svemu ovom. Sve započne euforijom, a završi se nedoumicom. Jedino što znam zasigurno je to da ću ih nazvati - dream days. Prvo zato što su ovi radovi podsećanje na neko bezbrižnije doba, puno radosti, kad su dani trajali beskonačno dugo i bili ispunjeni igrom koja je trajala u nedogled, doba maštovito, bezazleno, gde vreme i prostor ne igraju nikakvu ulogu, gde je svaka zamisao ostvariva, a granice skoro da ne postoje. Čeznem za tim osećajem, za tom lakoćom. A drugi razlog za taj naziv, i ne manje važan, jeste što je to naziv zbirke priča Keneta Grejema, mog omiljenog dečijeg pisca. Neobično je najpre to što je jedan obični, skromni službenik u banci, poreklom Škot u drugoj polovini 19. veka uopšte pisao knjige za decu, a još je neobičnije što je on to činio sa toliko dirljive nežnosti.

Illustration

I was pretty busy today, preparing works for a painting contest. My creative manner quite chaged in the last year. I began to feel a great enthusiasm fot illustration. Somethimes I felt that the illustration is less important than the classical painting. I'm pretty mistake made such comparison. I realized that it was not easy at all to make illustrations. It takes a very good knowledge of anatomy and also understand the substance of things to be able to simplify. Making puppets of cardboard, I began to feel unusual excitement I have never felt before. And I realized that I had found what I was looking for all along. Finally I feel complete freedom and the abillity to express myself artistically. All this is still at the beginning and I always expect something new to happen. Until then, here's a new peace. Danas sam bila prilično zauzeta pripremajući radove za neki slikarski konkurs. Moj način stvaranja se prilično promenio u poslednjih godinu dana, a ilustracija mi je post

Oh, how I love children's books

I have to admit a terrible and great truth - I'm still not outgrown children's books. I am really passionate lover of beautiful illustrated children's books. I am a member of various online book store and constantly looking for new releases. One of the most interesting online book store, which service I intend to try, is The Book Depository . They have so many beautiful items that I'm having problem deciding which book to buy. The adventage is of course free shipping. This I can not say from my personal experience, for now, but I hope  that I will soon have notice of it. Here I found Walker Illustrated Editions which look really amazing with great illustrations of Inga Moore. Here in Serbia selection of books is still very limited, and items appear cheap and poorly designed. It could say that things have moved forward a bit. Yet prices of some of these new releases is too big for our requirements. I recently bought in Belgrade a wonderful book - Mother Goose's N
