New Editorial Work - Kids and Fibs

This was fun to illustrate, it's giving parents some ideas on how to react when their kids tell fibs and what's behind it and explains how having a crazy imagination isn't the same as lying when you're young enough! Illustration-wise the possibilities seem to be endless, especially in the boasting category. Reminds me how as a kid your whole day could be ruined by someone telling you something totally incredible...like the boy above! (German Parenting magazine Leben+Erziehen)

New Editorial Work - Intuitive Parenting

For a German parenting magazine.
Based on the text about intuitive parenting which has gone lost over time as we take advice from books rather than trusting our instincts, and in this context mainly meant realizing what's really important at a given moment, nurturing your kids' talents and strengths rather than listening to common advice and comparing to others, i.e. encouragement instead of discouragement, even if that means going to the supermarket with a boy dressed as a ballerina or missing bedtime.
