Five puffins go on holiday in Antarctica!
A wimmelbook that invites the reader to look for the puffins and follow their mischiefs in the busy world of the penguins.
This project was created at the MA Children’s Book Illustration. I challenged myself to convey a sense of place through the creation of a “believable” penguin city.
The intention for the project was to use a strong striking colour palette, despite the story being set in an icy environment. Riso printing seemed perfect for the purpose, however, I ended up simulating the technique digitally. The illustrations are made mostly digitally with the supplement of some handprinted textures. I often mix traditional and digital in my practice.
