Designed as part of the 'Gift Lab' series, this engaging 24‑page activity kit immerses young audiences in Monet’s world. It features a 150-piece jigsaw puzzle of his Giverny garden, a fact‑filled fold‑out timeline tracing his life and personal dramas, twenty‑four creative art activities (from origami water lilies to a Monet-themed mystery), and even an iron‑on patch  - all richly illustrated by Iratxe.

Opening the box reveals not only a puzzle where you can spot Monet’s studio boat, wife Camille, and characters from his famous paintings, but also invites users to experiment with his artistic techniques via fun hands-on prompts. Iratxe’s illustrations transform educational content into a playful, tactile journey that both celebrates Monet’s legacy and encourages budding artists to explore creativity in a memorable, interactive format.

Donough O'Malley illustrates a bright editorial series for Brio Magazine.

Donough used his signature colour-blocked energy and expressive character work to a recent editorial commission for USA's Brio magazine. The article, titled Choosing to Love More by Being Offended Less, offers young readers practical, values-based advice on emotional resilience and empathy.

His illustrations translate these concepts into dynamic scenes filled with warmth, contrast, and storytelling - designed to visually support the article’s core message of responding to conflict with compassion.

A striking example of how thoughtful editorial illustration can deepen the impact of written advice.
