I want to thank to all the people who are participating in the Character Workshop, it’s amazing to be able to do this creative experiment with you!

This month I will be posting more about Lady Zakharova and probably also a little more about Boyhands Smoork, since he’s been another very popular character during the last month. Don’t forget that a new giveaway started yesterday with a new character called Woonkee DiWoonkee, so the most popular character of the month will be given away at the end of June!

    Hi Koldo!
    I received the package – Lady Lady Zakharova is arrived!!!
    Your talent is awesome!
    Thank you so much I love them.
    I have already framed them and have put in a place where my gaze will fall upon them frequently. I’m sure that everyone that visits my studio will also feel the Magical Radiance of your Work.
    I feel so lucky.
    I feel like I own a museum piece!

Words from the readers...

I love everything about the book: the wonderful illustrations (obviously), the layout that compliments them so well, all those awesome black and white decorations, the fonts, the text itself, the handwritten notes surrounding every pet, the… everything.

This is a book for twilight, to read by the light from a jar of fireflies. It draws you into a fantastical part of our world that’s there if you just look for it hard enough. It’s fantastical creatures are brimming with personality and each one is looking for friendship. They say that each of us has our own Kooky Pet just waiting to find us.

In his own unique way and with this unique and perceptive vision (mixed with a generous dollop of gentle humour), Koldo has created a book that is, at its core, about love, honesty, acceptance and a generosity of spirit. The delightful optimism of childhood is alive in these pages.

Kooky Pets is a beautifully illustrated book, full of characters that will make you laugh and wonder about your own Kooky Pet. If I had children, I would buy a copy and share it with them every night. I don’t have children, so I can’t share it with them. But you know, reading through this reminds me how much fun it was to play with the Kooky Pets of my childhood. It brings me so much joy to read and look at, I just might have to buy a copy to share with myself every night!
