It's been a busy time, having been back at Powerhouse Animation for 6 months, and balancing my freelance career alongside. I briefly posted about the release of my first children's book with the intention of going more in depth, but seemed to have forgotten! I've had my copies of the book for a while now, and thought I should get around to a more in depth look! It's a commercial product so I won't post digital originals, but here are some shots of the cover and a couple samples of my two favorite spreads within. See Inside Space Stations and Other Spacecraft is an Usborne Publishing flapbook I spent the greater part of 2016 illustrating. I worked with fantastic writers and editors at Usborne to create this book crammed with content. Flapbooks have die-cut tabs meant to be pulled back to reveal more content "inside". It works to great effect in this book, as you are able to "see inside" historic spacecraft and learn all about their functions. The design and planning of layouts was handled by the talented designers. Luckily I just had to illustrate! I'm proud to have Usborne as an ongoing client, and I hope they're glad to have me, too!
