    paper Quizzy the lamb, children's book illustration

    I was commissioned to illustrate two children’s books by the author Claude Bennetts. The first in this series was Quizzy the lamb, an amazing insight into animal behaviour. The second book was titled Quizzy the lamb, at it again! more insights into animal behaviour. Both books were to be paperback and published by Amazon. I was asked to create 24 full colour page illustrations for each book and a number of line drawings, activity page and colour in drawings for kids. I was also asked to produce the front and back cover of each book which required a large illustration each and I designed each cover, text layout, supplying the artwork to Amazon.
    As an addition to this I was also asked to illustrate and design the cover for Claude’s book of poetry entitled 99Poems, a touch of Cornwall which was also published by Amazon.
