dresses which are not dresses + website

I forgot to mention this before, but I finally have a place you can find me in the internets with a name which is very easy to remember!  

It's brigetteb.com!

That's where my tumblr-based portfolio lives.  If you have a tumblr you can follow me and tumbl away! It feels very official and neat.  The only bummer is that you still have to remember to spell my name right (no D, two E's, two T's, yes I know it's a funny spelling, but I didn't choose it).

And here are some discarded ideas from a thing I'm working on, er, trying to be working on.  

I'm not going to explain too much because there isn't much to say.

Here's a birdcage dress lady!  Her hat is also a birdcage.  

I imagine that the weather girl is prone to mood swings.  

Pomegranates.

Yes I know they're very silly.  

the book!

It's right HERE on Amazon! I illustrated this book last spring for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, which is coming out pretty soon...

I thought I'd just share some pages, since it's been released into the world already. These don't have any text (although you can obviously spot where the text belongs), and also the book doesn't exactly look like this, since it's a fancy 3-D book that comes with fancy little 3-D glasses. The effect is actually pretty neat.



Drawing food is a tedious affair. It really forces you respect the little glinty grease bits on a pizza or the texture of scooped ice cream when you are required to duplicate it...



These aren't all the pages, they're just the best ones (as far as I'm concerned).



I watched "The Lady Vanishes" while doing this page. Now when I look at it I think about terribly upright English people on trains.



Yay! I bought a copy at Borders and it was right next to my buddy Christian's book on the rack. Small world!
