Thinking about characters

12/30/2013

I have never spent much time developing a character in my illustrations, so as we move towards the new year i thought i would try something new! I am developing a character who will be used in a narrative exploring the experiences of living with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder). A number of people have taken part in this project so far- and some have sent me incredible writings about their experiences- which i will help me to develop the narrative.

Patterns for tree

I'm currently working on a really exciting and BIG project with The woodcraft Folk, putting together a book that documents their five year TREE project. It is going to be really rich with imagery, photos and pattern. I want it to be the kind of thing that people will hold onto for a long time.

At the moment I am at a kind of 'mood board' phase with it, playing around on pintrest and working with different patterns. I am very excited to start putting it all together!
