Illustration Friday - Prepare

The King and Queen prepare for their daughter's wedding in The Frog Prince 

Couldn't think anything for this week's topic, but browsing through some of my past books came across these which fulfil the brief perfectly...

They were done for German educational publishers Cornelsen's book The Frog Prince.  The pictures of the King and Queen preparing for their daughter's wedding were witty fillers devised by Cornelsen's Marie Keenoy.

I think this must be a Romeo & Juliet situation, or one of the squirrels must have a bad cold or something, as most squirrels would be able to meet up quite easily usually!

Partly inspired by previous Illustration Friday entry for Crunchy.

Illustration Friday - Round

The Bristol Zoo Wow! Gorilla, which I designed and painted, Endangered PJs (aka Bert) is very rounded...like all the other 62 Gorillas designed by Chris Wilkinson of Wild in Art.  The shoulders, head and especially the bottom are beautifully rounded.  The Giant Panda emphasises the lovely round bottom!
