This week IF subject is Linked… and all I had in mind was this child game we use to play… you know, where you both have cups or metal cans that are linked with a small rope, so you can tell each other secrets? Ok now I may have been the only one playing this game as a child (well we should have been two…) And so I figured it would be pretty cool to see Alice (yes, the famous one), using this old game to talk with the white rabbit. This idea also incorporate a project I have been postponing for a while now: making pendants and broches and all kind of jewelry that would incorporate my illustrations in it. These two new friends (Alice and Mr. Rabbit) will soon be adapted and made into broches and will sell on my Etsy store.

Je récidive et me voici à nouveau avec le IF de la semaine : Linked (lié, lien, liaison, connecté…enfin bref vous comprenez le principe). Alors la seule chose que j’avais en tête, c’étais ce jeu fabriqué de deux verres ou cannages de métal et reliés par une corde… ça nous permettait de communiquer (pas très discrètement mais quand on est enfant, tout est différent). Alors j’ai pensé que ça serait chouette de voir Alice (oui la fameuse Alice du Pays des merveilles) utiliser ce petit jouet pour communiquer avec Mr. Lapin. Cette idée est aussi en parallèle avec un projet qui m’est cher et qui me trotte dans la tête depuis un petit bout: faire des broches et des pendantifs (quelques bijoux quoi) avec pour principal sujet mes illustrations. En fait, ce projet est déja en marche et vous trouverez ici même ces broches (les illos un peu modifiés bien-sur) et un lien de mon Etsy Store. Je dois juste trouver le temps… Mr. Lapin, j’ai besoin de votre aide.
I will go visit your website now!! I miss checking other websites of illustrators, too!! hehe

Lovely illustration! The cup phones were an excellent idea!
Wonderful work! Your style is lovely
Thanks John!! Ho… cup phones! So happy to read this is actually the name for those!! Thank you.
nice! I like the idea of making them into brooches ( what if there was a small chain connecting the Alice brooch to the rabbit?!). Fun stuff!
absolutely lovely
I absolutely love it. I could tell it was alice just from the thumbnail in my feeds, nice work
Justin, that is a great idea! Having the 2 brooches linked by a chain! Thank you Marta, Kristyna and Paolo for the great comments. I think you can tell I am having fun doing these small illo’s.
Wow this is awesome! I love your concept. Your style is so original, I love it. Once I saw one of your pieces, I had to see more. Your work is inspiring. I’m going to follow you in hopes to see much more. Can’t wait!

Great idea! And incredibly adorable.
Nice illustrations and ideas. I love the vintage colors with current style.
You illustrations have a unique style that is quite eye-catching. You were definitely not alone in the “cup phone” fun. And who better to talk than Alice and Rabbit?
