Day 47: I’m Making Andi Want Sweets!
My friend Andrea Ipaktchi knows from temptation as she’s lived in Paris for more than 20 years where there is every great foodstuff and sweetstuff on the planet.
She’s normally not a sweethead but told me yesterday that because of this blog, she’s thinking about candy even more and sometimes having some. Oops.
Andi is also my favorite illustrator – or illustratrice as she calls herself professionally.
Her “sketchblog” is called April in Paris. Her designs are pretty, whimsical, funny and wise – just like her.
Andi is the classic American in Paris. She’s not one to get too impressed and/or intimidated by the French – which is where we bond.
One of her specialties is family portraits – to hang or even just for a Christmas card. You don’t even have to go to Paris. She can draw off a photograph.
But I like her drawings of French pastries best. Click below to enlarge and enjoy!
