Nonsense

A small book of Edward Lear's Nonsense rhymes.

There Was an Old person Of Dutton....

There was an old person of Dutton

who's head was so small as a button

so to make it look big he purchased a wig

and rapidly rushed about Dutton

One of the great rhymes by Edward Lear. This is the product of being stuck on actual work, and drawing the first thing that came to mind...hence the hilariously sized arm. But now I hope to make a small book of about nine or ten of similar drawings.

A start to a new book, and to character development.

Miroslav Sasek

I have always been a big fan of Sasek's, and I particularly love his series of children's books about cities around the world. The image below is an ace image of Victoria street, one of my favorite streets in Edinburgh. I'm definately going to add some of these books to my Christmas wish list.

First Book rough

So this is how far on I am with my Atlas book Adaptation of Ryan Braunds animation, but there are many alterations to be made. For a sneaky peak at few of the other pages don't hesitate to have a look at my flickr.

As part of my dissertation I am looking at adaptation between animation/films and picture books, and have decided to make a picture book of my own based on a short animation. So this is a sneaky section of part of my book.
