Here's another short edited sequence from the book.

Will our circus boy be eaten alive?

Awww...

I previously published a work-in-progress picture of these two pieces. And here are they are finished!


Here's a sequence from the circus dummy picture book...




So the past few weeks I've been really busy working on a sequential project, basically coming up with a dummy picture book. This is the first image in the book, as yet untitled, about a little boy who works at a circus. But this is no ordinary circus... more will be revealed in the next few posts... stay tuned!


The year 2012 has been a challenging one, adjusting to a new economic reality (a limited full-time student budget), re-evaluating choices (again), and summoning the courage to change courses and move to Cambridge! I have not regretted the decision, and I am thoroughly enjoying the course. Here's to more brave choices in the new year!
PS: I'm having my cream cheese brownie and eating it too..! :)

Martin Salisbury (my lecturer and famed professor of children's book illustration) turned 60 last month and students all drew a little postcard-sized portrait of him as a gift. I did this quite some time ago, but didn't post it as it was intended as a surprise. Anyway, here it is!


This is a quick view on what I'm currently working on for my course. It's part of a sequential image project. One of the (many!) challenges, after the sequence has been worked out, is trying to maintain the same colours from image to image. The one on the right is a complete one, while the one on the left is the one in progress. First time trying out pastels, and I quite like it!
