I Illustrated Three Famous Australian Bush Ballads

ADVERTISEMENT

I am Bogdan Gărgăriță, one of the two founders and illustrators of the Romanian Publishing House, Editura Intaglio. I have illustrated and published many books, some are classic or original children’s books, others collection art books for adults.

Two of our more ambitious projects were possible to complete thanks to the successful crowdfunding campaigns we had on Kickstarter.

Now we are live with a new crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, a book project containing three famous Australian bush ballads, called “Horses, Riders, Mountains, and Plains”. This unique book speaks about the great love for an adopted homeland and the undeniable bond between the horse and its rider.

The book, “Horses, Riders, Mountains, and Plains”, contains a selection of three poems written around 130 years ago by the acclaimed Australian poet, Banjo Paterson, and translated into German for the first time by Arthur Cropley. This is where I jump in: the bilingual English/German book is accompanied by my works of art, resulting in a unique mixture of cultures.

After the wonderful collaboration on the Latvian epic poem “Bearslayer”, which was possible thanks to the successful crowdfunding campaign carried out last year, the Australian author, Arthur Cropley, and I started working on this new project, restoring the 19th-century atmosphere of rural Australia and the central role of the drover’s horses in their lives.

Now we are live with a new crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, a book project containing three famous Australian bush ballads, called “Horses, Riders, Mountains and Plains”

I made the illustrations for the book “Horses, Riders, Mountains, and Plains” in acrylic, on paper. For creating them, I had to make thorough research regarding Australian landscapes, history, and fashion to create accurate depictions of the Australian spirit. I kept consulting Arthur Cropley, the Australian author, and initiator of this one-of-a-kind project.

I invite you to find more about our project on Kickstarter and to choose one of our exquisite and limited rewards. Every support and share will contribute to bringing this project to life. Thank you in advance!

We are Maria Postea and Bogdan Gargarita, the two visual artists who created a publishing house called Editura Intaglio. We did so in order to publish the projects we consider important for the times we live in. What makes us stand out is that our books have a classic collection aspect with contemporary preoccupations. Since we created Editura Intaglio, almost 5 years ago, we have already published 18 books and now we are focusing on ambitious projects of national and international significance. Editura Intaglio is a Romanian Publishing House where two enthusiastic artists decided to bring back the unique atmosphere of illustration into the rather superficial modern world. The Intaglio books have a wide variety of themes - from classical fairy tales to historical legends and original stories, all decorated with the plasticity and freshness of traditional art.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
