This was one of my first book projects at the School of Visual Art's Master's program: Illustration as a Visual Essay. I was one of the lucky ones to learn from the likes of Marshal Arisman, David Sandman or Victor Koen. In this particular project we had to come up with a nonsense text in Writing Class and then illustrate it in order to give it sense. For me it was about learning rhythm and composition.

Two tales that didn’t make it

The illustrations of this book were made in 2007 and were never published. The author didn't fancy the illustrations judging them too abstract for children, so the publisher had to cancel the project as it was going to print. Interestingly enough, the illustrations were later awarded by The Society of Illustrators of New York and were art of their book show.
