Fresh Look

I just noticed that I had mentioned re-looking the website in a post, last March. Yes, as in five months ago. Still, it is up now, and I am beyond happy with it. I'm still in the honeymoon phase and cannot stop looking at it and playing with all the links. :)

A dear friend, Pierre-Luc (aka @Technobeanie ) programmed and advised on the whole thing, and thanks to him, it is perfect! You can read his blog here. And Also check out his Iphone game, that he worked on with my friend Mathieu, here.

Enjoy!!

SMM21!!

Oh....what? Two seasons have passed since the last time I posted? Hum....no big deal! :) 

I have been very busy, and it was summer, and warm, and...no excuses. I'm glad to say that i'll be drawing next week, at the Montreal Fashion Week!! YEAH! Here is a little fashion-y portrait of my friend Noémie in the meantime!

Doesn't today / this week feel so right? We are going towards springy weather, at last. This is such a fun time of the year...we dress too lightly and get sick, the blossoms are near, we have more daylight at night...

On that printanière note, im happy to be featured on NEET mag's blog with my collaboration with my friend Noémiah. The lookbook of her spring collection was SO MUCH FUN to work on. True change from my usual work and refreshing colours to work with in the dead of winter. Im taking this opportunity to also introduce to you Pascaline Floch, the model and another new friend of mine, who is an illustrator too! Her quirky work breaks my heart! So Have fun every body, go play outside!!

SPRING!

I know...it's not spring yet. But a girl can get ready a little early for a good thing? :) Im working on a new serie of pet and owners, for spring and summer. I'll be adding them to my online shop as i go. They're for sale here, in prints of 9x12" or 12x18". So this is my first two. Marvin and Sabrina, and Émile and his human friend Oliviero! Thanks tones to all those sweet hearts for posing for me. Delights to draw. 

New Skin

Allo All!

Im in the process of revamping my website! :) Excitement. 

In the meantime, follow me on tumblr (http://pauleillustration.tumblr.com/) or twitter (@paule_tb) for updates. Hopefully you'll like the new look.

A portrait i worked on during the Holidays. Happy winter everybody. :) 

Merci!

Juste un petit mot pour dire merci à tous ceux qui sont passé me voir au Smart Design Mart! 

Thanks to everybody that said HI at Smart Design Mart, i think this year's edition was glorious, i had a lot of fun. Here are some pictures Andrew Belding took of my booth. :) 

Aussi, j'ai appris cet après-midi que mon calendrier a fait parlé de lui sur la première chaine de Radio-Canada aujourd'hui!! (Guide cadeau de Catherine Richer.) Si vous voulez vous le procurer il est toujours en vente sur Etsy, ou sur demande par email. 

Smart Design Mart

Oh Allo. Its been about a decade since my last post. Just letting *the two last person oh earth* that dont know about Smart Design Mart (and yes, you should be terribly ashamed because you are not part of the cool kids.) That YEAH! Smart Design Mart is next week end! Already!! It is an awsome timing for Chirstmas presents... by the way. My calendar is still for sale on Etsy, and i'll have some at SDM. Along with the Girl+Dog prints, and a couple more Girl+Cat prints too! Like this one, portrait of dear Edith (fu&?ing amazing painter that you should know. Double uncool if you dont.) I had taken pictures of her and her rambunctious cat Jack a couple months ago and never got around to drawing it, im glad i did. 

Come see me! But also Noémiah, ThisIlk, Nea, Mélanie Favreau, Vanessa Moore, Norwegian Wood, Tyson Bodnarchuk, and soooo many many more cool designers...now.. if you still need convincing something is wrong with you.

Teahupoo Print and home stuff.

My Teahupoo illustration for Girls & Cats is now on Etsy. 

And some Connie pics, just because, i know you love it. Also, i'll be shopping for a duvet cover for my bigger one. (yeah, i have two...and winter is around the corner and i plan on stacking them, and them looking goood together. im a girl. period.)

From Dwell Studio. Obviously not an option price-wise, but more inspirational... call it whatever you want, im drewling. 

Canadian Living

I find myself looking foward to those long winter months. The canadian blood runs strong and thick in my veins. :)

CA.LEN.DAR. hell yeah...

Here it is! You can purchase it here. 

The paper is recycled cotton from Canal Papers. It is handmade here in Montréal, on Canal Lachine. I love the final look of it, i am very pleased with how it looks and how local it is as a product. Look at me! Im SO funny!! All pictures by Janick, thanks you xx. 

Avy in the Fall

This has been a long time coming. I actually cannot really beleive that i still liked this drawing enough to finish it. I sketched it out first in august 2008. (yep... you read right, august, 2 thousand HEIGHT) When i met my friend Avy for the first time. I have drawn her a couple times since, but I remember her posing for me for this illustration, holding a nectarine! Then i waited about a year to start colouring it. Anyways.... i have had to come up with a couple of images that are more "set up" in terms of situations, lifestyle evoquing... and this image seemed quite à propos. First of all, drawing Avy is aways great because she is mad cute. And also, i have been missing my friend Geneviève a bit more poignantly lately, and this is set in London, in the part of town she lived in when i visited her last, close to Lavender Hill. (is that even right? Victoria train station....)

Anyways, hope you enjoy it, in the end! 

Allo Avy! xx

Puces Pop

HEY LOOK! its ME! Thank you to all of you who made your way through the hip crouds in St-Micheal's Church this week end and came and said hi. I loved my first Puces Pop and hopefully will be participating again! I'll defenelty be looking into more craft fairs, they are so awsome and being part of it is seriously too cool for school. You get a sneak peek of my calendar over there on the table. I will be up on Etsy next week. As well as some small prints that are shown here too, 6x8 on canson paper, that go for 8$. They have been mucho popular over the week end, and btw, thanks to everybody who grabbed stuff from my table! 

Calendar Illustrations

CALENDAR-MEGA-WRAP-UP

!!!

So i respected most of my original thumbnails' ideas, exept for April actually... dont know what i was thinking, just the feet.... And I managed to give all the "girls" their Birth Stones haircolour as i had in mind! (And included all the month's flowers too.) It was a pretty cool challenge actually, and it satisfied my craves of radical hair dyes! My hair has been natural for over 2 years now... and i guess this was slightly therapeutic too. Thanks a lot for every body who has commented over this project, im very happy about the look of it, and cant wait to see it as a final product. :D

Avril

YÉ. I'm done!! I made it! The calendar will be for sale at Puces Pop, and then in my  etsy shop at the end of next week! Thanks A TRILLION to my friend Cab, who is helping me with the graphic design part of this project. :) Caro, je t'aime!

Décembre

I love december, i love Christmas, unconditionnaly. Period. 

This is a portrait of my dear old friend Rose à petits pois. 

And btw, she now has an etsy shop!

Juin

This is *so* summer 2008.
