About This Project

A debut in book illustration!

I had a great time working with author Roz Kay and her publishing company throughout 2019 on this book. I flew through the chapters and enjoyed brining the big and small moments to life in pen and ink. Keep scrolling to see the work that went into the interior pages and the cover design.
