When approaching children’s illustration I always think back to the types of picturebooks I loved as a kid. I adored anything that seemed to have endless detail, pages you could keep coming back to and finding something new in each time. So when creating my own illustrated spreads, I keep this in mind and try to create really layered worlds that you feel you can step into and explore. I especially love to do this with interiors, the more maximalist the better.
This particular set of illustrations is a personal
project that I started at uni and continue to
develop to this day. It’s for an ongoing
develop to surrounding a neighbourhood
of families who each develop a strong
shared interest that brings them closer
together. I have a lot of fun designing
the houses and outfits for the family
which help express their interest,
whether it be music, food or even space.
