Loves me, loves me not, talking about even more feelings
The third of Grzegorz Kosdepke’s four-series collection, called ‘’The Great Book of Feelings’’ and is about a young kindergarten teacher and her pupils: Rozalka, Grześ, Zosia, Bodzio and Rafałek. It is a set of books dedicated to topics such as love, hatred and the sense of guilt.
The illustrations were based on my sketches dedicated for a film adaptation of a book, prepared by the animation studio EGoFilm.
The book series by Grzegorz Kaspedke was originally published in 2008. It includes: ‘’No Kisses! talking about how to deal with certain emotions’’ and ‘’Pure TERROR! talking about where the babies come from’’, ‘’Loves me, loves me not, talking about even more feelings’’ and ‘’Miłka’s team, talking about respect, bravery and other values.’’
The planned repeated publishing of Grzegorz Kasdepke’s series with the new illustrations coincided with the works for the animated film created by EGoFilm, based on ‘’The Great Book of Feelings’’. Thus in 2022 a new publishing of ‘’Loves me, loves me not…’’ was released with my illustrations.
I like to work with cheerful and witty texts, because they are joyful and simply inspirational.
Sometimes the vision for a comedic scene comes straight from the text, but at the same time I also find myself bringing the humour into the illustrations, almost pinching into the given situation.
I try to combine a simple, sheer form with an elaborate number of details.
As a child I loved looking into the details of illustrations. Coming back to them and finding new elements, which I didn’t notice before.
