When not illustrating, the couple loves to play with Camilo, hike, sing, and take pictures. They love to watch the sunset and drink mate while brainstorming for new stories. Ivanke and Mey get their inspiration from nature, from experiences they encountered growing up and from the drawings of children they met in their workshops teaching in small and remote rural schools. Ivanke and May have illustrated several titles together. “Palo Palito Eh!” was the first book they illustrated for Pequeño Editor (Argentina) that won the National Award for Best Baby Book in 2018. They also illustrated “Face Of What?” for Catapulta (Argentina, Brazil, Spain), “Avioncito” for Catapulta (Argentina, Brazil, Spain) and "On Monday I Met Emi" for UNICEF (Argentina). Below are Ivanke & Mey's most recent projects, Aduki series (Catapulta), Avionet (Catapulta), Cara de Que by (Catapulta), El lunes conocí a Emi by Paula Bombara (Unicef), Palo, palito, eh (Pequeño editor).
