Messy is as messy does
My head is as messy!
Currently busy drawing flowers and no time to clean my tiny work area! I am re-doing all the flowers drawings as I don’t really like the previous ones (so far did 12 of them). They were missing an important part of me; my own signature character and style.
Done 4 so far and I like them very much. A long way to reach 50 but I am trying very hard! Hopefully to complete all by March 17, a day before I depart for Bologna Children’s Book Fair, Italy. These drawings will go places! Yippee! Hopefully my publisher will get a good licensing deal out of these!
A very heartful thanks to my publisher, Linda Tan Lingard, for sponsoring my trip to Bologna. I can’t wait to meet children book’s illustrators around the world and to visit Rome, Venice, Florence and to draw in my moleskine! And to take pictures! And to try to blog from there!

Dear Emila,
You’re such a great inspiration to children (adults too) who love arts.

Ok what your work area, you should see mine, me and Mrs. Spiff share one table and susah betul when we both have to do work at the same time. Lagi now I’m working from home, it can get really cramped … hehehe …
