I first met Zmaj\u010dek magazine when my children started kindergarten. I probably loved it before they did\u2014snatching it up eagerly before little hands could even reach it. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n

I loved the mix and style of the illustrations\u2014always colourful, lively, even when touching on more serious themes. Once I began illustrating myself I often thought how lovely it would be to see my work in such a magazine.<\/p>\n\n

One day I plucked up courage and sent a portfolio email to Ms Ur\u0161ka\u2014half in jest, half in earnest\u2014never expecting a reply, more to practise being brave. And she answered, saying they liked the illustrations though they weren’t expanding their illustrator pool.<\/p>\n\n

I seized the chance; since then Ms Ur\u0161ka and I are in touch more often and I draw for Zmaj\u010dek now and again. Grateful.<\/p>\n\n
