Cheltenham - True Stories (aka Jealous Giraffes)

These are 4 images I have just finished to put forward to the Cheltenham Illustration competition this year (with the final 3 columns together being the image I sent) . The theme was True Stories, and have based mine on a something I read about the largest cactus in the world being the size of 3 or 4 giraffes, and thought about how those giraffes would feel being compared to this huge cactus!! Really enjoyed working on this project, just a shame there wasn't enough time to work on more images....ah well, might come back to it at some point.....on to the next project now!!

Macmillan Book Prize ' 09

This is a project I was working on for this years Macmillan Book Prize. It is called Robbie, Rabbit and the Rainbow - and believe it or not - features a boy called Robbie, his soft toy Rabbit and, well, a Rainbow!! The style of this book had many variations during the time I worked on it, as certain things just were not working. It has possibly ended up a bit more mixed-media than I first thought, but overall I am happy with the images produced! :-D
