This blog is about my dream of becoming a children's book illustrator. I worked for 7 years as a 2D animator and story artist, and I loved my work. I mean, I REALLY loved my work. I would run to work because I was so excited about the prospect of drawing all day. When I had my children I became utterly enchanted by children's books. I am studying an MA in children's illustration and this blog is to chart my progress, my thoughts, desolation, and inspiration.

Home screen printing
Over the last few days, I have been trying out my home screen print....to varying degrees of success. After an initial attempt that put a hole in my screen from scrubbing with mr muscle, I bought the speedball cleaner and am now much happier. I have learnt that it would be better to use a standard size paper for aligning the image (next time I will do this!). I think I would also go for a rectangular image next time as well. I have enjoyed the process although it seems extremely long winded. I will definitely try to design some more images for screen printing in the future.
