Whimsical Watercolor Children Books

Emma SanCartier's 'oddFAUNA' Book Features Beastly Creatures

— June 8, 2013 — Life-Stages
Illustrator and artist Emma SanCartier has recently developed a series of kids art books with whimsically bizarre creatures called 'oddFAUNA.'

Illustrated entirely using watercolor, each of Emma SanCartier's images are vibrant, beautiful and expressive. From made-up creatures like sharp-toothed hedgehogs, unicorn sea monsters and bear-like dinosaurs, Emma SanCartier's creatures are adorable with a dark, beastly twist. Each drawing is characteristically hand-drawn and painted in with bright, vibrant and colorful watercolor paint.

Available in an ideal 5-inch by 7.5-inch child-friendly size, 'oddFAUNA' will include six simple story lines and over 20 of Emma SanCartier's originally developed creature characters. Drawn for a comic book-style read, 'oddFAUNA' takes a fresh stand on creating a great children's book that both kids and adults will enjoy.
