About the author

Camilla d’Errico is a product of her split heritage, Italian and Canadian rolled into one: Italian fiestiness, Canadian politeness, and an early addiction to Saturday morning cartoons, comics and manga. Growing up she was more often doodling sexy damsels and dragons on her textbooks than reading them. In 1998 when Camilla first attended her first San Diego Comic Con she realised that a 9–5 day job would kill her and this was what she wanted to do. Thanks to her relentless energy, dedication, and just enough sleep deprivation, she has followed her dream of working creatively for a living.

Camilla’s unique style continues to be in demand and her client list includes Dark Horse Comics, Image Comics, Random House, Tokyopop, Hasbro, Disney, Sanrio, Neil Gaiman and she also works with video game and movie companies on character development. Her own characters and properties, Tanpopo and Helmetgirls, are loved by fans and followers and now inspire Cosplay costumes. She has successfully merchandised and licensed her beautiful artwork across a variety of categories: clothing, stationery and gift, accessories, art prints, etc. and continues to expand her licensing program. Her emotive and eloquent paintings have propelled her to the top of the ranks of the New Contemporary art movement, and she is represented by Opera Gallery of New York.

Camilla can’t live without Holbein’s “DUO” water-soluble oils, green tea lattes, Hello Kitty merchandise, and her daily fix of manga and anime.

What a lovely way to start the year!

Rainbow Children showcases d'Errico's artwork of the last 6-7 years which is full of life, colour, beauty and expression. Her work is eye-catching and captivating, gently lifting one's soul - it's a pleasure to look upon.

If you love all things rainbow, unicorns, and cuteness, you will love this collection.

Now, where to find a print of my favourite piece...

[Benjamin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Many of the pieces were outstanding, but some held more sway over me than others. I'm not generally a fan of blatant reference towards inspiration. Many works could be considered Homages to manga artists of repute, mainly Hayao Miyazaki. I found the blends like this unnerving, maybe due to the high amount of them included in the text.
Camilla has talent and she knows it.
But this collection felt oddly unfulfilling

I love her art. I first came across her art in Hi-Frutose magazine years ago. 😍

[Shiela · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love art books coz not only do they give my eyes something to ogle, but also because it's a sneak peek at the mind of the artist.

This one is extra special to me coz I got it the same day I finished getting "Beyond the Rainbow," inked on me. A piece I've been obsessing over for a while, and was coincidentally also part this book. ❤

At its heart, this is a picture book. It could easily be taken in one sitting; but one page turned slowly, book closed and cogitated over, is my way of truly enjoying this beautiful and bizarre art. Camilla has a strangely provocative yet innocent vision and this book welcomes the viewer into that world. Now all I need is a coffee table to leave it on.

This art is so whimsically beautiful. I need prints of nearly every piece. Heart eyes for days.
