Heroines

 A collaboration of many illustrators and several writers - a book about important and brave women of Czech history. The series of illustrations also travels the world as an exhibition in the Czech Centers.  I illustrated Milada Horáková, who is the symbol of communist political processes. I also illustrated the scout leader Dagmar Skálová and the gold fencer Marie Krůbová, they did not make it into the final book though.

Velvet Effect

Another book collaboration - a book about the years 1988-1992 in Czech history. This was a meaningful book to work on and I learned some interesting bits of information about the time.

I illustrated breakfast with the French president Mitterand, the Paneuropean picnic, the demonstration at Letná and some other tidbits, though most are not used in the final book.

The Lord of the Flies

My diploma work, drawn by pencil and printed on a risograph. Lord of the Flies by William Golding is a very strong book so I hope the illustrations I made are worthy partners for the text.

Ursa Major

A picture book for children about a will-o´-wisp and the Ursa Major. It is a story about getting lost, searching for yourself and about friendship. I got a lot of valuable advice from the book author and illustrator Josep Antoni Tassies as the book was created as a part of a illustration course led by him.

Gordaen Uprising

My bachelor work - a strategic board game from a fantasy setting created by Ondřej Chrástecký. It tells a story of a fantasy continent where elves, goblins, dwarves and other races lived with their petty squabbles and then the human Empire came and colonized them. The game is about the uprising of the local people and the war that will determine who will rule on Gordaen.
