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

How did you make this work:
I created this picture book to visually demonstrate my own experience as a mum to an autistic child. This story shows the sensory processing disorder of an autistic kid when he goes to the hair salon for a haircut. I hope this picturebook brings awareness about some of the challenges autistic kids have. This image is made with drypoint printmaking, monoprint and
photoshop.
