Up, up and away!
Instead of drawing
little people partaking in all sorts of whimsical journeys, I am off on an
adventure of my own. I will be heading off to America and Canada for the next few months!
Unfortunately, I will not be able to run my online store
from overseas but feel free to contact me through my website or email me
(mariannakmarx@gmail.com) if you have any enquiries or commissions that
we could discuss.
I promise to come home filled with ideas and inspiration for many
new illustrations!

Bedroom Mural
I was recently commissioned to paint two murals in a bedroom that belonged to three little girls. Here are some pictures that were taken over the four days while I was painting. A huge thank you to Beautiful Room for giving me this amazing opportunity!
You can see the full album of photos documenting my progress from initial sketches to the finished mural on my Facebook page.
John Burningham
“Making pictures is
like making a conversation: you can use hundreds and hundreds of different
colors and patterns and things but it will be completely meaningless unless it
accomplishes what you set out to do. Some people cant stop talking. It’s a sign
of insecurity, usually. They fear silence. And there’s this awful idea about
illustration that if you have lots and lots of color, then you have given children
what they want. I think that is a way to make kids bored.”
