Why did you make this work:
This story was my own picture book text inspired by a single drawing I had made. It was acquired by Kids Can Press in Canada. It is a funny and suspenseful story about a foolish crocodile who skips breakfast on his way to work as the jungle ferry. Will his passengers make it to their final stop!

What materials and techniques did you use?:
The art was created traditionally using paint and line work. It was then scanned, coloured and layered in photoshop to create a digitally screen printed effect.

How were your illustrations used:
Illustrations all used in final published picture book, A Crocodile Should Never Skip Breakfast, publishing June 4th 2024.
My editor was Patricia Ocampo and my designer was Andrew Dupuis.
