Being a Graphic Designer, one thing I love to create is children's book illustrations, the types of children's illustrations one remember's from a child, I find
these type of illustrations seem hard to find or non-existent in present day, . It was this then which really inspired me to create a few children's books, mainly to grab the imagination through illustrations with the child in mind. I have to admit am not much of a story-teller, however since their was no one else I decided to give it a go. As you can see the above Titles are all my own Illustrations as are the stories which are written. Margo the owl was created with pencil drawings , as owls have always been mysterious and fascinating and some would have them credited for being wise, I created this book I guess with not just children's but parents in mind, parents who enjoy reading such bedtime stories without having to spend 1 hour, but rather 10 minutes before saying goodnight, Margo's Birthday Its full of little furry animals which are always a must when creating an Owls storybook, given Owls mostly live in a forest, it would be almost impossible not to add a few in there as well. The next book Maggie the ladybird was something I thought hard and long about, before I came up with the idea. I also wrote it for my beautiful mother who recently passed because of her wonderful nature and generosity towards anyone and everyone, she was always there for folk who who needed a helping hand. Maggie the Ladybird in the story has an unusual marking which seperates her from most ladybirds in that she is special . It took long hours to create the art illustrations. Having a ladybird over for a pot of tea inside a old oak tree was quite difficult for me to create, so mastering it and finally bring it to fruition wether they sell or not was my main goal. I plan to create another Maggie the ladybird book. I am working on it at the moment, if all goes well I think I will create even more, again I find this most gratifying and although fame will probably allude me, this is something I truly love to do. Hopefully 'Maggie The Ladybird' will get some recognition if not for the story, but for the illustrations. after all who doesn't love ladybirds, even as a child ladybirds fascinated most children it just made them smile. My last book sunshine I wanted to take on a new form of artwork much more modern day, but also with a much more colourful picturesque feely weely to it . The book is full of bright picturesque landscapes and vibrant colours, again am not much of a story teller when it comes to children's books, but I give it my best shot. Maybe one day some famous children's story writer will collaborate with me to create an amazing children's book. As it is for now I am on my own. I work on so many different projects, but this is my first love and I think I will keep coming back to my Maggie the ladybird adventures, not only does Maggie the Ladybird feature Rabbits Birds etc I have included a few insects she encounters in this adventure. The second book called 'Maggie And The Lost Key" will also feature both animals and insects, so children will get best of both, from snails to hedgehogs, its early days if I am to continue with these books, so to see a few sales is all I need as anyone would like to see, to inspire them. The book is in Multimedia format, with buttons making it easier to flip through the pages. Just download and extract the zip folder. Then its a case of just running the program icon ie 'Maggie The Ladybird'
