Animal Magic

Over the last few weeks I've had a great time illustrating a funny story called Captain Yuri and the Space Mission by Susannah O'Brien. It's for The Mumsnet Book of Animal Stories and will be published by the lovely Walker Books.

I would like to share some character designs for the hamster. He's a witty little chap who hasn't got the foggiest regarding what's about to happen to him.

Hamstering About

Here is one of the pages from the book. The layout is slightly like a comic which certainly fits the humour and tone of the story very well.

The animal anthology will be out this October and will be packed with assorted tales and splendiferous illustrations.
