Daphne lives a quiet, lonely life, until she finds herself a companion, a puppy called Turnip. But with a few too many treats, little Turnip becomes enormous.

The adventure begins when Daphne takes Turnip for an extra long walk...

I followed some key words for Folktale Week, moon - dream - daybreak. The pictures became a story in my head and I am still working on extra images to add to the sequence.

The Muddy Dog was a story taken from a wild walk with my dog Rufus. He ran along a coastal boardwalk after wading about in a muddy pool. I remember anticipating the people he might meet and potentially soak with muddy water as he ran past.

Let's act now! The children of Unity St. School decide to create a special place in their own playground to show how much they care about nature and our own planet's future.

 I wanted to convey a simple sequence about a boy planting seeds from a pinecone and growing two new pine trees  which he plants back in the forest clearing. I used collage to enable me to simplify the shapes and hopefully communicate directly through minimal imagery and no words.

These are various illustration and sketches for projects above.
