Stuart Road Primary School Library Mural

At the start of January, 4 course friends and I started a project to design and paint a mural for Stuart Road Primary School, Plymouth, and we finally finished last week! The mural is a combination of our interpretations of famous children's book characters, as well some children's drawings from a competition that we held and judged. A child from each class won the opportunity to have their work featured in the mural (don't worry, the children didn't climb ladders and scaffolding, we projected the drawings onto the walls).













Hopefully we'll be getting some more professional photos taken once the library is completely finished. 

Thanks Stuart Road Primary School, it was a pleasure.

The Girl and the Monkey Accordion Book

These are the pages of a short wordless narrative accordion book that I made. The photos of the book at the end are quite crap due to terrible lighting and a not so great camera but hey ho, you get the idea. Enjoy :)

Giraffe

Just playing around with imagery at the mo. Not sure if I'm gonna stick to watercolour and colouring pencils yet but I'm quite enjoying it. Would like to incorporate some collage at some point and see how that goes.
This is one attempt at drawing an animal as a children's book character - animals aren't normally my thing so it's going to be interesting! Got an elephant and a dragon to attempt yet too. Exciting times!
