In 2019 I wrote and illustrated a book called The Rhythm of the Rain.

Wild is the Wind is the second of these four books. Earth and Fire will follow over the next two years.

It was used in my book 'Wild is the Wind.'

I made a storyboard using pencils and Photoshop. These were then scanned into the page layouts and I used Photoshop and custom brushes and scanned in painted textures to finish the art.
