MADAME SAQUI, REVOLUTIONARY ROPE DANCER

written by Lisa Robinson

Published by Schwartz & Wade Books, 2020

”In revolutionary France, a girl named Marguerite Lalanne longed to perform above large crowds on a tightrope, just like her acrobatic parents. Sneaking off to the fairgrounds for secret tightrope walking lessons, Marguerite finessed her performance skills, ultimately performing for crowds as a young rope dancer. And eventually, Marguerite would perform as Madame Saqui, waltzing and pirouetting across- and never falling off- countless ropes above adoring crowds. A nouvelle chérie de Paris, Madame Saqui cemented her place in circus history, winning the adoration of the French people and royalty alike, including Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.”

“This riveting picture book biography shines both for Robinson’s pitch-perfect readaloud text and Green’s mural-like artwork, rendered in an age-muted palette of Revolutionary France’s red, white, and blue.”

8x12” Acrylic Gouache on Arches Hot Press, 2020

Inspiration: During a ‘morning’ themed life drawing session, the task was to create a drawing using our non-dominant hand. I loved the resulting gesture drawing - it had so much movement and life to it, so I pushed it further into a painting. As I am missing my dog so much these days (he is in the US, I am in Japan), I had to add him (and his tiny paw) to this morning painting.

Ballet Performance Poster
Self-Initiated Project, 2020

Inspiration: I’d been watching ballet performances online and one featured a dancer with wide flowing pants. As she moved, the pants seemed a secondary character, flowing as an afterthought of her movement.
I used a long sheet of painted packing paper, rolled it up and gold tipped the ends. The shirt or bodice is a cut acrylic paint tube, and the feet are old wooden fishing lures I found at a flea market in Osaka. The drawing was done in ink and compiled digitally. Celia is not an actual performance, but an ode to an elderly woman who lived on my street when I was a child. She gave me fresh flowers and large rolls of paper to draw on. The Brody Theatre was named after my childhood dog who lived to be almost 18!

HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH A GHOST
Published by Tundra Books, 2017

PURCHASE

”What do you do when you meet a ghost? One: Provide the ghost with some of its favorite snacks, like mud tarts and earwax truffles. Two: Tell your ghost bedtime stories (ghosts love to be read to). Three: Make sure no one mistakes your ghost for whipped cream or a marshmallow when you aren’t looking! If you follow these few simple steps and the rest of the essential tips in HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH A GHOST, you’ll see how a ghost friend will lovingly grow up and grow old with you. A whimsical story about ghost care, Rebecca Green’s debut picture book is a perfect combination of offbeat humor, quirky and sweet illustrations, and the timeless theme of friendship.”Illustrations: Gouache and Colored Pencil on Bristol Paper

Emogene Blue

Treasures untold cost
A speckle of gold
If you buy them
From Emogene Blue. 

She cleans off the mold
And the dirt and the old
But doesn’t deal
In anything new. 

On the East side of town
The girl can be found
Sat amidst her
Treasures for sale.

You can buy by the pound
Or a piled up mound,
But she’ll get you
To buy without fail.
 
In snowflake and bloom
(Except on full moon)
She’ll be selling
Her treasures untold. 

For Emogene Blue
Wouldn’t know what to do
If there weren’t anything
Scavenged or old.
