LOT 1

LOLA AND ANTON
by Katrin Dreiling

Description

This is the very first concept for the two main characters in my first authored/illustrated picture book A PERFECT PIG, Scholastic 2021. Lola is a fun-loving, easy-going piggie and Anton, the perfectionist, anxious cyclist wants to throw her a surprise birthday party.
​
The characters can represent different dispositions within ourselves - the carefree, spontaneous and the serious, disciplined.

Watercolour paper, watercolour, gouaches and coloured pencils.

Illustrator Bio

​Katrin came to Australia for one year in 2004. It turned into the longest year of her life. More than twenty years, three kids and two dogs later she still hasn’t spotted a koala in the wild or thrown a shrimp on the barbie but she does know how to draw a koala - or a shrimp. For over fifteen years, Katrin’s quirky illustrations using various media and different techniques have captivated audiences offline and online for being inimitably childlike, fun and full of detail. Katrin is also one of those people who can’t walk past a puppy without asking if she can pet them. She lives in Brisbane with her husband, three children and two Golden Retrievers plus plenty of goldfish and a wild bush turkey they named Bruno. Everyone in her house loves to cook or eat or both.
