Phew! Lots of pictures here and more to come! My newer sketchbooks are way more exciting to me. Most of these sketchbooks are filled with nisee made logos, little character drawings, cats and recipes. I don't know if you know this about me, but the first page of my sketchbooks usually has a cat on it!

  2. Denise, these are so inspiring. I would love to know who are the illustrators /artists who influenced you while you were developing your style.

    sabina - awe thanks! hmmm let me think about who comes to mind. i really looked through everything for inspiration; vintage kids books are huge sources, looking through flickr is and was always inspiring, i always loved the work of shinzi katoh: http://shinzikatoh.com/, anything that I could find that was cute, fun and interesting helped to develop my style I guess. maybe i'll try to post more on the blog tomorrow! :)
