Un-commissioned | Professional

Why did you make this work:
I wanted to create a sequence of illustrations that could tell a story without words. Elkie and Croc came about in response to exploring the beautiful relationships that children can develop with people who may unexpectedly come into their lives, such as a loving step-parent. As Croc's love for Elkie grows, Croc also becomes larger than life.

What materials and techniques did you use?:
I drew the initial idea in pencil on paper and then rendered the work digitally through Procreate on the iPad.

How were your illustrations used:
I have used these illustrations for my own portfolio, and they have since sparked the interest of a publishing company.

Biography:
I am an Illustrator who was born and raised in England, moving to Australia in my early twenties. Since my childhood I have loved to draw since early childhood, thanks to the encouragement of my mother who was an artist and art teacher. I completed a Master of Arts in Drawing and Printmaking in 2005. Nowadays I enjoy using illustration as a tool to express my own whimsical and quirky ideas.
