"What if you could live forever?" A powerful tagline for a powerful story.
I remember reading Tuck Everlasting for the first time when I was still at school, and like most classics, the story is safely stored in the back of my mind until this very day. Never for once did I think I'd have the chance and the honor to work within its realm. So for that, I am more than thankful.
This is the cover of the translated version which I illustrated, to be available soon throughout Indonesia, published by Atria.
And thank you to those who took time to visit my new branch. I'll be posting more over there, so you're always welcome to stop by for a cup of tea and biscuits! :)
My best,
Amalia oxx

Oh Amalia, you are a hot talent - what a lovely work!
ReplyDeleteanyway I will write more later when I hav finsied scrubbing the kkitchen out :)
How exciting! Your work is so perfect for book covers! I'm happy for you! It's a beautiful painting.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't think of anyone more suited to book illustration than you, Amalia! This is so your thing, I'm happy for you. Books are such magical, magnificent things that transport you into a whole new world, just like your artwork!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I wish I owned a pair of shoes like the ones that lovely girl in your drawing is wearing :) Hahaha

I guess that live forever is somewhat difficult ... First, because the people you love will not live forever, would be a lonely road, no? Hugs!*

I feel great joy that you are being recognized and honored with your art! This makes such a wonderful book cover and for such a great story!
ReplyDeleteThis book is not translated in Bulgarian, but I found information about it and about the author. I'll watch the movie but what I've already understood is that there's magic and mysticism in it. And I feel them in the atmosphere of your cover. That mystic wood with yarrow (?)and the golden light glittering on the girl's dress... Did you illustrate the book? I'm so happy for you, Amalia! Congratulations on your success!xx I hope you'll receive similar proposals for work in future, too!
ReplyDeleteIt is great to see the wonderful fruits of your labor.
ReplyDeleteHah! If we live forever...what age are we going to be? Do we keep on getting old or are we stuck at a certain age? Do we suffer from diseases forever but never die? That would suck!
Your illustration is gorgeous, it gives you such a sense of magic and mystery :) ~Lauren
ReplyDeleteOh dear, so I came back again. How wonderful is this? Oh Karen invented wonedrlicious, so I will use that :)
ReplyDeleteLOve the flowers heh, the forest the light the ground the girl and the squirrel she has in her lap ;) not to mention that rock. well enough from me.
My dear, so tender and romantic. *sigh* You know, I'm ashamed to admit it, but I have never read this book. I wish I could grab your illustrated version at my local bookstore. She is beautiful, and I adore her old fashioned dress. Those boots shall never go out of style. :) I love the way the light filters through the forest, and I LOVE Queen Anne's Lace! Fantastic job! You are on quite the roll!
ReplyDeleteLovely, sweet baldy baby with a fierce illustrating hand! The pen is mightier than the sword, twice!!! The writer's and the illustrator's!!!
ReplyDeleteTsup!
Tsup!!!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I also love that book.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes! For being early, you get a candy bar with sugar content so high you will skyrocket to the moon. Getting back will be your own problem, though. Perhaps some of your twilight dust will work.... Here, take them. Grr. Umph. mmmmmph. Okay, Amalia, you must unfurl all your 16 fingers and toes to take them, you know. Okay, I'll just leave them on your lap.
ReplyDeleteToodles! xoxo

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Thank you Amalia.
ReplyDeleteBald is cool. Even the hirsute ones wanted to be bald just to be in the club. So I say, show your true bald head!
It's all Bella's fault, really. Ah she is so much fun and we all love her.
I am so glad you were a baldie. I think you look so sweet in the group picture. I enjoyed drawing you!
Hahahahah!
Wow this one is very beautiful! Love it! Thank you so much for your uplifting comment on my post about 'dealing with rejection'. You are so sweet and I do feel so much better now that I've put things in perspective! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment it mean alot :0) Take care x
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm such a bad host, aren't I??!!
ReplyDeleteI have been wandering around too much lately, trying to find some screws that got loose from my head. Heheh.
Well, is there anything else I can say other than thank you, thank you, thank youuuuu??!!!
For saying that I'm a 'hot' talent (!!!), that my work suits the book business well, for noticing little details in them, and all the generous best of luck wishes I probably don't deserve... Really, you are all so amazingly kind!
OXOX ♥♥
Cool, beautiful, dreamlike. I so like your art!
