Illustrator and Graphic Designer, Joanna Calderwood has just announced that her illustrated children’s book, La Fabrique à Souvenirs (The Making of Memories), is now available for sale! Last summer, Joanna entered a competition to publish a children’s book, and won first prize which came with the bonus of 100 of her books being printed!
Joanna put a lot of effort and time into making this book, which she desribes here. The graphic novel for children is based on a collection of postcards she discovered whilst walking around a thrift store. The treasurable postcards depict imagery of the Rhône Alpes region, featuring amazing landscapes of lakes and rocky mountains, with beautiful handwriting on the reverse. La Fabrique à Souvenirs tells and depicts the story behind these discovered postcards.
The featured illustrations were created by layering various techniques including oil pastels, colour pencils, ink, and pens which are characteristic of her bright and free style. Joanna describes; “It is very satisfying to see a book printed at the end of a big project”.
This book is available for purchase by contacting @_edalya_ on Instagram with a donation of your choice.
