#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is from “Mrs Noah’s Garden” - story by Jackie Morris (2020).
I loved developing the collage technique for this series, although I’ve often broken my own rules and painted as well. It’s taken many years to allow myself to be this free!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is for a story by Zeb Soanes, 'Gaspard's Foxtrot' (2021) - where I cheekily popped in a self portrait of me with Toto & Diva! Such a lovely series to work on and Zeb is the BEST book-comrade!
Line, wash, pencil.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is from 'Ella Bella Ballerina and A Midsummer Night's Dream' - more mendelssohn than Shakespeare! Behold Titania!
Complex non-digital layers of art for a retro feel.
Watch out for my FINAL #60for60 this Sunday... a very exciting #CoverReveal !
#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is from “Mrs Noah’s Garden” (text by Jackie Morris, 2021).
Planting seeds is an act of hope, I think. It thrills me to see them grow, flower or fruit. Illustrating a book can be a similar process!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is from “Mrs Noah’s Pockets”, story by Jackie Morris (2018). At a time of personal crisis, a new technique, new hope. I fell back in love with creating, surprised & challenged myself, inspired by this exceptional text. Printmaking & collage. 60for60
