There is a lurking sparkle of joyousness and rebellion and mischief in nature here, and therefore in children. It may be that the land and the people are young-hearted together, and the children's spirits not crushed and saddened by the shadow of long years' sorrowful history. It may be that the miasmas of naughtiness develop best in the sunny brilliancy of our atmosphere. In England, and America, and Africa, and Asia, the little folks may be paragons of virtue, I know little about them.īut in Australia a model child is-I say it not without thankfulness-an unknown quantity. Not one of the seven is really good, for the very excellent reason that Australian children never are. If you imagine you are going to read of model children, with perhaps a naughtily inclined one to point a moral, you had better lay down the book immediately and betake yourself to Sandford and Merton or similar standard juvenile works. B efore you fairly start this story I should like to give you just a word of warning. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sometimes I create the cover at the beginning and sometimes at the end- when the feel of the book has been developed. ![]() My Modus Operandi is to start with character studies, moving on to internal pencil layouts with suggested areas for text. The age range for my books is usually from baby to under 10. I provide illustration artwork scans ready for print but not the typograpy, I leave that to an expert graphic designer. My style is traditional in watercolour and gouache- I also clean up the artwork digitally using photoshop. I made my way in to children's book illustration when I had my daughter, she appears in quite a few books as a toddler, she's now a fully fledged adult! After graduating from university with a BA(hons) I began as a commercial illustrator providing art in many different mediums and subjects for packaging, advertising and magazine editorials. I have worked as an artist for almost 30 years. ![]() ![]() And Spensa’s seen the weapons they plan to use to end it: the Delvers. ![]() Now, the Superiority-the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life-has started a galaxy-wide war.
