How were your illustrations used? :
Book inside or spot illustration/s

How did you make this work:
I really wanted to make a picture book about animals dressed up as other animals, and this story came up. I thought it would be funny when the main character wants desperately to a party, but somehow he is not allowed to enter. I didn't mean to at all, but in the end the main character turned out to be just like me, an introvert with an aversion for crowds :-)
