Publication day! “The Poetry World of John Agard” was so fun to illustrate! It took me back to childhood memories of illustrating my school poetry book! Thank you @otterbarrybooks.bsky.social and all the amazing team behind the book, and of course to John Agard for his wonderfully inspiring poems!

Two b&w illustrations for a student project about Mr.Dog (far from being as good and fun as the original/ but I still like my version) whilst being a mentee at Pop Up Projects Pathways last year.
I learnt a lot!

All Patrick wants for his birthday is a perfect FOOD party.
But why did Karter arrive dressed as a FOOT?
Patrick learns a valuable lesson in patience, embracing chaos, and most of all that family isn't perfect.
Patrick and the Not-so-Perfect party is available to preorder at your usual book retailer

Even though my heart has always been in illustration, I was convinced that it wouldn’t be financially sustainable for me to choose it as a career, so I studied architecture and urban design instead…and from there, supported by amazing colleagues and friends, I found a way to make use of my passion!

Sneak peak of Patrick and the Perfect Party cover! Such a fun book to illustrate thanks to Anne Wynter’s text and the great art direction of the team at Little Bee Books!
