A box full of wonderful copies of Bruno's Box! which I was working on last year for Meadowside Children's books. It's not out untill May but it's lovely to see all that work come together. I had such a great time and learnt so much from this project, but could never have done it without the help from the lovely Art director Sarah and Lucy the Editor. Many thanks Ladies!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7130869895406882820-1912166098722669436?l=nicolapontin.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nicola Pontinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06122169323631943234noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130869895406882820.post-83681285712977130832011-01-31T05:52:00.000-08:002011-01-31T06:07:02.387-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Navvizd61D4/TUbB9ZVM2HI/AAAAAAAAAGU/8drpWJwkT8w/s1600/lion%252Bgirl.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 292px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Navvizd61D4/TUbB9ZVM2HI/AAAAAAAAAGU/8drpWJwkT8w/s400/lion%252Bgirl.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568351249806186610" /></a><br />This is a painting I recently did for my lovely mum.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7130869895406882820-8368128571297713083?l=nicolapontin.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nicola Pontinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06122169323631943234noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130869895406882820.post-34285804316584357402010-12-05T05:24:00.000-08:002010-12-05T05:26:43.057-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Navvizd61D4/TPuS_keiMAI/AAAAAAAAAGI/f2YAWi6KOP4/s1600/xmascard_moo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 284px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Navvizd61D4/TPuS_keiMAI/AAAAAAAAAGI/f2YAWi6KOP4/s400/xmascard_moo.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547188986858057730" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My Christmas card.
