A story about friendship

Here's another illustration for Discover - 

a lovely kids' magazine from the UK.

and how it appeared in print.

I Love My Dad...ongoing work...

Written By Ghada Alo,

to be published by Creative Education and Publishing.

Illustrations for Greenbird Books

This is a story about charity.

It's called the Jariyah Jar.

I guess the British use cute terms like "scrummy".

It was in the story and I thought it would look good

on the awning for the cake stall.

Discover - Issue 3

Another illustration for a wonderful new magazine from the UK;

a story about an archery - a sport I would love to learn.

And this is how it appeared in the magazine...

Painting

Blobby bits of color - I like :)

Sauerkraut success!

My first batch of sauerkraut - 

10 days of fermented goodness.

And easier to make than I thought it would be.

Charlie and Lola style

I've never watched Charlie and Lola,

but I'm getting to draw in that style,

by request :)

Sample illustration for a new book - 

it was fun creating the torn paper effect.

New book...

about a boy and his dad....

and the things they learn and do together...

More sourdough

I'm using my starter itself as my pancake mix...

It positively roils with the addition of

a small amount of baking soda.

The pancakes come out beautifully soft - 

and you cannot detect the sourdough in them.

Perfect with cinnamon, raw honey, and 

a dash of pure coconut oil.

You won't find this in a store.

Discover Magazine Issue 2

  I did an illustration for another story in the magazine - 

a fascinating look at the history of paper.

This is how it appeared in print...

New book - I Love My Dad

Written by Ghada Alo,

this book is about all the things a boy named Adnan 

does with his Dad.

Illustration for Azizah Magazine

I'm so excited!

The creative director of Azizah contacted me 

about this painting of mine - 

she wants to use it in their next issue!!!

Discover

Okie dokie, here's more work I did for the magazine:

An interactive coloring page,

more postures for the four main characters,

a double-spread for a story about soccer...and sign language.

I find the articles amazing - this second issue has 

a fascinating story about the history of paper,

and the differences between papyrus (reeds),

parchment (animal skin),

and ancient paper (tree bark and rags).

Working on the soccer story pics, I discovered that

while ASL uses only one hand,

British Sign Language for the alphabet is two-handed!

So cool!

No wonder they decided to call the magazine "Discover".
