excellent work on the wallpaper, very High quality
Artist Comment
I have always regarded the relationship between a mother and a daughter very sacred.
I have always believed that our mothers role is the most important concerning our physical and mental development.
Have you ever thought of yourself being lucky for having a mother? I have. Especially now that she is not here.
Scenario:
Mariel: Mom will you read me a story please?
Mom: Sure sweety, which one do you want?
Mariel: Oh, great! I want the one with the fluffy cloud and the flying camelopardalis. I love this story!
Mom: Ok. Lets see. Hm, once upon a time in kingdom far away from here there was a kind little camelopardalis that wanted
to fly.
Some kids never had and never will hear a story from their mothers mouth and receive that warm goodnight kiss.
This wallpaper is dedicated to all those kids.

Picture on the book: My drawing 4 years ago for passing the exams in illustration with traditional media (colour pencils
used). We had to create a picture based on a story or poem. I chose a book with funny poems written by Rena Rossi-Zairi
(title: 321 counting with Rena)
Pictures that inspire me to draw the little girl like thumbellina and the whole scene:

I would like to say that I have more than 50 illustrations of thumbellina as it was one of the fairytales I had to
evaluate on one of my essays at the University, so you could say that I have been influenced by lots of different
characters and moods. I only present you those that I liked the most. I hope you like them too.
Ps 1. I would love to receive a stricked critique on this piece since I see the flaws myself but as I always say, I will
not change the elements (certain characters or objects that mean something to me) that you do not like, but I will
surely change everything else. Thank you all in advance.
Ps 2. I think that you must have forgotten me after being absent for more than 2 months. I am sorry.
Ps 3. Dedicated to Svetlin Vassilev, maybe the best Bulgarian Illustrator who i happen to have once watched draw and
tried to follow his technique in details. My wallpaper is somehow a recreation of his own illustrations for the
thumbellina storybook, so this piece is a gift for him.

The bond between a mother and a daughter is certainly very special, and this wonderful work of art communicates that idea in a very unique way. It brings back memories of when my mom used to read me fairytales ^__^
From the illustration in the storybook (which looks like it could be from a real children's book, I wonder what the story is about...), to those tiny red shoes, to the thumbellina-like girl, to the waterdrops on the leaves in the corner, every detail of every element is neatly created with care; and together, they create a magical and enchanting yet familiar and warm atmosphere. Amazing work mouritsa!
