Giovana Vazatta,Illustrator Fredericton, Canada http://ca.geocities.com/gvazatta/ "I took these pictures especially to "On my Desk" while I was working on my illustrations. This is my desk almost all day. But as it is also my dinner table I have to make some changes on it in the evening. Every day I organize things accordingly to what I am using in that week. I try to put around me all my tools so that I don’t have to get up every time I want to use any of them. Depending on the week there are different things on my desk, but basically I always have my pencils, brushes, papers, pots, books that I am reading at that moment, and magazines that use to cut off images and insert on my recent collages. Frequently, I have close to me my paints to make watercolors." "Here is a detail of my desk in this week. I spend most of my afternoons here. I love to be here and to work while listening to the radio. Good songs have always inspired me." "To relax during my work I go to my laptop computer where I navigate a little and talk with friends. When I have to finalize some of my works I also come here to digitalize them." "I really think the sunlight is very important while I am working, so my desk is very well positioned on my room." "I recently received from a friend of mine this magnetic Hello Kitty. She is like the old paper dolls; I just love it. I put it on the second favorite part of my house, the kitchen." - GV
