CHILDREN'S BOOK ILLUSTRATIONS
NOT ONE OF THE SHEEP
Written by Sandy Davey
AuthoEver wonder why sheep are white but clothes are coloured?
This is the story of quirky Farmer Neil McShane, who was a visionary some say.
He knew that although created equal, we needn't stay that way!
"Picture a world," he used to shout, "where clothes are different colours,
where my jumper and your trousers don't look like all the others!"
I brought this quirky, warm, fun filled children's book to life, from concept drawings to fully coloured illustrations, picture and text layout through to print. Illustrated in Procreate, edited in Adobe Photoshop, with text and layout designed using Adobe Illustrator and InDesign.

THE COW WHO WANTED TO SLEEP IN
Written by Sandy Davey
Daisy was no ordinary cow - she was the sleepiest cow on Farmer Charley's farm!
While all the other cows were up at dawn, ready to work, Daisy preferred to snuggle deeper into the grass and keep on sleeping. But Farmer Charley had a big problem. The shops in town needed fresh milk every morning, and if Daisy didn't wake up in time, there'd be no milk to sell! Worse yet, the other cows were starting to get cross, because they're awake and Daisy's not, and they think they should get to sleep in too! Maybe, Farmer Charley thought, a big bright red alarm clock might work?
Using my cousin's dairy farm as an inspiration, I hand drew Daisy and Farmer Charley's story, from concept drawings to fully coloured illustrations, picture and text layout through to print. Illustrated in Procreate, edited in Adobe Photoshop, with text and layout designed using Adobe Illustrator and InDesign.
