Amazing illustrator

Have a peek at this amazing illustrator I found on childrensillustrators.com. She is illustrator of the week on the site this week. Her work is really lovely with a mixed media feel and a fabulous colour palette. I love the scratchy drawing style and whimsical characters.

Who is Mobijo?

Hello everybody! 


It's high time I introduced myself and started posting on my blog!

Firstly though, a little bit about me...


I am a graphic designer living in Auckland, New Zealand. I have finally resigned from my permanent position as a Graphic Design Tutor to follow my dreams as an illustrator. 


I became obsessed with illustration while reading my 3 year old daughter bedtime stories. I fell in love with the different styles and mediums that these talented illustrators were creating and decided then and there that this what what I wanted to do. I love the fantasy world of children's books and particularly Quentin Blake, Tricia Tharp, Holli Conger, Isabelle Arsonault, Emily Gravett and so many more I can't count! 


I have two gorgeous daughters, Jade is 13 (sigh), and Danni is 6, a wonderful, supportive husband (YAY!) who is behind me all the way with my new venture!


I hope to bring loyal blog readers a little bit of entertainment and would LOVE to hear your thoughts on illustrators I love and find on this wonderful thing called the internet!
Hope to 'see' you around these posts and look forward to getting to know you all! I have posted a pic of myself and my girls so that you can put faces to the names, Matt, my husband, has asked to remain anonymous (for now). 


See you soon
Michelle
