Today, I am guest posting the wonderful artist Benedicte Delachanal from Montreal, Canada. She displays her drawings and paintings at her blog Carnet de Dessins. Make sure you pop over for a squiz – she is doing a Christmas ‘do’s and don’t’ cartoon series at the moment (she did one last year that was just brilliant).
Regular readers of my blog will know that Benedicte is producing the illustrations for our series of childrens stories (Aletha Kuschan is in on the act as well) about a ‘rock chick’ chicken called Pompadour and a hairstylist hamster called Blanca (who has 9 babies!).
I asked Benedicte the questions ‘why do you blog?’ and ‘what do you like most about blogging?’ and this is her answer (in the unique Benedicte style):
Thanks Benedicte.

I LOVE THIS WOMAN AND HER ART! How did I miss Benedicte? 🙂
I don’t know Val – hahaha. These Canadian bloggers are something else 😉
Ben – you have the best answers! I love the ‘to be a star’ picture the best, but they are all fabulous (like you).
Fantastic creative responses. Really enjoyed this
thanks bluebee – a creative response that’s for sure.
Thank You very much Gabriella,
it was interesting and fun to think about that blogging thing.
You’re very welcome Benedetta ;)It is interesting this blogging phenenemon – so many different people from so many places doing so many creative things and being inspired as we go.
What a delight! Unfortunately couldn’t open her art at her blog but I get the idea… good choice for an illustrator!
Thanks Stafford 🙂 ‘couldn’t open her art’ – what’s going on!
This is superb Gabe!!!
Thanks Graham – she is a wonder 🙂
Haha … what a fun interview!! 🙂
I adore the beautiful drawings … they have a wonderful sense of fun and joy.
They are hilarious Tracey and full of joie de vivre.
this is such a treat! (huge smile) :)))))))))))))))
Thanks tipota 🙂
How amazing it must be to be able to draw like that. WOW. I would be skipping down the road if I could do that. And may I say, what a perfect collaboration between you two!
I wish I could draw like that too Selma – full of personality.
Absolutely super fabulous! (Blanca thinks so too!)
Pompi is pretty impressed as well Aletha 😉
bwahahahahaha aloha and bwahahahaha – yeah, i’m just getting to know Benedicte humor. that “To Be A Star” cracks me up every time i watch it. …altho i gotta say the facial expression, gestures, dress and exuberance in all of these are all grinners.
They are all hilarious and typically Benedicte 🙂 thanks Rick.
Benedicte’s art gives me a feeling of happiness when I see it. Her works are cheeky, mischievous & irreverent. Thank you for introducing us to Benedicte & her work Gabrielle. Looking forward to seeing your collaboration.
Thanks Jane – hope your Christmas went to plan 🙂 You have summed up Benedicte with ‘cheeky, mischevious and irreverent’ – haha.
