Snap shots of the illustrations I did for a children's book.

some are a little fuzzy because they were not scanned, just hastily taken with a camera before they were shipped off, never to be seen again.

The Little Princess - Concepts.

 For the book I did in 2006 I needed to design a princess. These are some of the sketches that came out of that development. To see the final checkout the storybook tag to the right.

one's on a night gown because the story mostly happens at night. -Not chosen.

-Not used

Also not used. I felt the best choice was the one to the left, but he was looking for something a little more like his daughter. Blond, blue eyes, etc. I think the shorter, possibly younger princess would have had broader appeal. Like a Leelo, from Leelo and Stitch (disney).

A Rose For Emily

To the Story "A Rose For Emily"

When in school my teacher described this as my 'Breakthrough Piece'

now I guess it's more of a breakthrough if I actually liked the piece. It wasn't my favourite, but I'll take it. 

Alice in Wonderland

Illustrations to "Alice In Wonderland"

not so gothic, like many versions seen today.

this is from early in the final year of my Degree.

Into the Fire

Story Illustrations for "Into the Fire"

I have not been able to find a copy of the original story since I did these illustrations.

It is an old story, that I found in a collection book of many children's stories.

If any one ever finds it. please let me know.
