This year I’ve participated in the stArt award 2018 by Boekie Boekie with the theme:
Even though I didn’t make it to the nominations, I’m happy with my illustration entries and what’s more important I really enjoyed the making process. All stories and texts are designed for children, and were prepared by the organizers of the competition. The challenge for participants was to make illustrations for the prepared layouts, as well as hand write the headers for the stories. The organizers decided to complicate the tasks for the participants and offered a limited color range - I've decided to use the classical black/orange greek vases paintings colour as base, and the famous “Santorini blue” as additional colour.
BOOK COVER
The theme of the book cover illustration is based on 12 olympian Gods looking on humans down from the height of the Olympus mountain.

ILLUSTRATIONS OF A GREEK MYTHS BY OWN CHOICE
Daedalus & Icarus
Hey Icarus!! Watch your butt...ehm...I mean wings...
In Greek mythology, Icarus is the son of the master craftsman Daedalus.... Everybody knows how the story goes and ends...so for my illustration I’ve decided to capture the exact moment when Icarus knew, that he screwed up...
Poseidon
Poseidon “The Earth-shaker”, he was moody by nature and easily offended: his temperament was unstable (at best), and his emotional fluctuations often resulted in major catastrophic events, such as floods, earthquakes and sea storms, and sometimes, he even unleashed his sea monsters in order to get even.
