I had the pleasure to work with Snibbe Interactive  great team, making some illustrations for a game. You can actually see it at the California Academy of Sciences, it's called Galapagos. You can watch a small movie about Galapagos in the Snibbe Portfolio .

And here's a little preview of the illos. See you at the museum!

PS: pas de soucis a la maison suite au tremblement de terre, moi je vais me coucher :)

call it a bright day (or call it a day)

Today began as usual. Five in the morning, baby teething, where is my coffee cup. We played. We are not very good at whining so we play and laugh if possible even if it's five and it's just a little bit difficult because I'm not a morning person. But today I put on my magic pink sneakers and it made the day a little bit special. Or maybe seeing my baby trying to catch a beam of sunlight  brightened the day forever.

After lunch the baby couldn't sleep because you see it will be Fleet day Sunday. The Blue Angels are practicing and they flew so close up our tiny home that it opened the back door wide open. I almost had a panic attack. But I was too busy to make a proper one: by the second I could hear them I was running for the baby. I learned to listen if they were coming close or not, and run to be there to put my hand over my baby's ears before they arrive, quick quick 1, 2, 3 seconds. I always made it. My eardrums are quite OK. What? Can you repeat?
But I won't complain about it because I used to enjoy Fleet day a lot, climbing on the roof and all to see it.

Then  I had this crazy idea to check if the garden behind the long white wall is open to the public, the one looking so bushy with gorgeous vines showing up the wall. Most of the time it's closed and I can see only a tiny bit of it if I walk quick at  constant speed to see between the fence's planks...Yes it's opened to public and yes it was magic. A garden to my taste exactly, messy and full of my favourite plants. One of the gardeners was here . He was very kind , we had a nice conversation about these big spiders and how to plant bamboos...I jumped from flower to fruit showing and naming everything I could to my baby and he was as happy as I was. We both have a huge love for all things green and untidy, I never had to teach him.
I came back home with a precious gift of a tomatoes and squashes we ate for dinner. The sky was blue. We had a lovely lovely time. I promised myself I will come back and help. I love this idea of community gardens. Love it love it love it. I wish I had just a little bit more time to garden.

 

When I came back home everybody was sending me this link to the new Sony add. I was waiting for it for a very long time since I read an article about it. I love advertising when it's clever.

And then to make it a day I found a new way to make my baby giggle with silly songs.

A bright day.

Disgressing

Le coup de fil d'une copine m'a rappelle cette image faite il y a plusieurs annees pour ma CC (cousine cherie), j'ai un peu change les couleurs pour l'adapter a certaine personne qui se reconnaitra.

I did this picturee a few years ago for my sweet cousin...I changed the color for a friend. She called me this morning and it reminded me this illustration.
"It's not fat, it's cute, I'm expecting"

Portnawak Day

I  decided that tomorrow has to be a portnawak Day. Portnawak is old Parisian slang for "whatever". We are getting into fall now, and soon it will be winter and we are all getting serious and grumpy. We have to prevent that. I makes tomorrow a good day for doodles without meaning. So if you feel like it, just have fun and post doodles tomorrow!

Je viens de decider que demain devait etre un "Portnawak Day". Nous rentrons dans l'automne et bientot l'hiver, tout le monde devient serieux et grognon et tout et tout,  il faut reagir. Donc demain est un bon jour pour gribouiller sans queue ni tete et poster sans remords. A vos crayons!!

Today is a special day

I did these sketches last year, at the restaurant, and at work, and in the streets here. What I like about Halloween  in San Francisco is that sometimes you are not really quite sure if people are dressed up or not. I love this city!

J'ai fait ces dessins l'annee derniere au boulot et dans la rue, et puis au restau ici. beaucoup de gens se deguisent, non ce n'est pas une fete commerciale mais bien une bonne occasion de s'amuser. Ce dont je raffole par dessus tout c'est qu'ici a San Francisco on est jamais bien sur si quelqu'un est deguise ou pas. J'aime  cette ville!

 

Today is also a special day because it's Julia's Birthday. Happy birthday Julia!

One girly thing

Click on the image to see it full size - enjoy!

I forgot a rule : try them in the shop long enough to see if they hurt or not.

J'ai oublie une regle: essayez les dans la boutique assez longtemps pour voir si ca va faire mal.
Et si il y  a de la place derriere le talon et que vous avez les doigts de pieds tout tasses, c'est que ca va pas du tout du tout non plus.

Not about unagi

It took me a lot of time to understand how to choose pumps I could actually dance with.
I can't garantee you'll be able to run with your strappy sandals after that, but at least you won't choose feet killers anymore.

Vous savez probablement deja comment faire...Mais casou je suis en train de travailler a un guide sur les chaussures a talons. Ou comment eviter de se tuer les pieds avec grace ;)

Earth Day

I am reposting one of my favourite illustration for Earth Day...We are all under the same tree on the same planet. Remember it...And would you like more coffee?
