Balogh Andrea -Brilliant Budapest Artist

'BOTEROparafrazis' is an award-winning work by brilliant Budapest artist and honourary Bee, Andrea Balogh.
An insider tip is to run down to your nearest Budapest bookshop and pick up a copy of Piroska és a Farkas (Little Red Riding Hood), a little illustrations-only children's storybook, entirely created by Ms Balogh.
The artwork has imagination, wit, a charming, naivety of form combined with a mature execution in an expert, trained artist's hand.
The little book makes a great gift for a child or adult or as a wise art-investment.
Bookshops are running out of this little gem as I write.
Don't say I didn't warn you, and don't come whining to me in five years' time when Sotherby's is auctioning a Balogh painting for bezillions. I have my (signed) copy.
Remember this name.

**Plus if you're in Bologna - now, there's another great Bee - during April 24-27 2007, don't miss the Bologna Children's Book Fair, where Balogh Andrea's inspired works will be featured at the Illustrators' Exhibition. Here's a list of illustrators from 2006 when Hungary was the guest of honour country.
Ooh, I fancy some tagliatelle alla bolognese right now....don't even mention spag bol for it is a sad, sad excuse for a dish, invented by the pasta-ignorant inglese - the ragu just don't stick on the strands, mate, too thin, too thin.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I'm having a food rant again.
It must be the spirit of Garibaldi revolting in my blood once again.
You try having a revolutionary for an ancestor, he keeps repeating like a salchicha and garlic sauce.
