Author and friend Dawn Sprung and I worked together to create a colouring book. The book is based on my paintings accompanied by Dawn’s poetry.

SPIRIT OF THE WILD

Inside the book.

The poems enhance perception of the animals, and offer insight into their daily life and challenges.

The animals are drawn in a way that they can be multi coloured, like my paintings.

The drawings are hand made, with important lines made thick, so the wildlife will still be seen, no matter how wild the colours.

The paper is thick to hold marker, with perforated pages.

The launch party.

The book launch took place in Aldersyde, at the impressive Sprung Instant Structures headquarters. Live entertainment was provided by Joshua F. Smith and the Rabbit Hopping Club.
