I feel a bit crazy going from fractals to
conceptual photography to traditional painting
to... whatever.

But then dA is a good place to do crazy things.

Last December a French friend who lives in
Barcelona asked me if I would make a small
painting for one of his nieces, a young teenager
who was coming to visit him from Paris.

I said no.

I'd never made anything for children or very
young people and I had no idea how to
go about it. He said the girl likes colourful
pictures of just about anything and would I please
give it a try?

I finally gave in and had such fun that I ended up
making a whole series of watercolours and collage
on hand-made paper. I had to mail the commissioned
work to my friend in such a hurry that I didn't even
scan it before parting from it. The girl promised she
would send me a photograph. Sometime...

Now I am posting some of the works I made after
delivering the commission. Don't be hard judging them,
I still don't know anything about art for the young.

In spite of that, I hope you'll like them
