New TalentWhy did you make this work:
For this project, I wanted to create a picture book in which readers can have an interactive experience. With this in mind, I decided to make a lift-the-flap book that is full of fun characters with lots of surprises. The book begins with a clown crying out for help to find her sidekick baboon. It then leads the reader into the private rooms of sideshow freaks in search of the baboon.
How was the illustration used: book
How did you make this work: My goal for this project was to surprise the readers with images that are hiding behind the flaps. Since each sideshow freaks have interesting physical traits, I decided use those attributes as surprising elements. I also gave each character relatable idiosyncrasies (e.g., an eight legged-lady loves collecting shoes) to bring them to life.
