How were your illustrations used? :
Book inside or spot illustration/s, Self Promotion/portfolio, Whole book design

How did you make this work:
In 2023 I collaborated with an Italian author on a children's picture book inspired by the magnetic and wonderous Gene Kelly. Through the eyes of 3-year-old Olmo the narrative takes us on a journey through Kelly's most iconic dance sequences and films, bringing to life this golden-age figure to a modern audience. Illustrations were made in gouache and crayon then digitally edited on Photoshop.
