Children's Book
I began writing a children's book in the first semester of the 3rd year, long story short it didn't go as I had planned. So! now I have some free time over Easter with which to chill I decided to go over the images I made before Christmas and fix them. Here are examples of the double page spreads for three of the pages with accompanying text. I like how this is going because I simplified it, you wouldn't believe the detailed inking I had planned just for those borders. As nice as it would be I only plan on making one copy of this book and I don't intend to give myself brain failure again with it so the catchphrase is... "keep it simple" ^_^ I also tried some duo tone versions to see how they would look, they don't look too bad. I was worried the collage detail would be lost completely but you can still see it. Any comment on these images would be GREATLY appreciated, I asked my 3 year old niece what she thought but see didn't give me much feedback, except she did like the teeth monster ^_^ with is a bonus.

my love for duotone knows no bounds, make sure you use it to explain the situation/time/mood of your image rather than making it all go orange ;) I like the third from top, it has a nice balance and the cat is fat and cute, keep going x
These look very impresive simple yet effective indeed:D
The page layout and image work well in this format and it looks like the collage and texture element of your work shines as a result. Like how you can see the cats fur and the legs of the man are made from pbjects brought into the pic.
I think maybe the stair monster may need a bit more of a subtle emphasis, perhaps a slightly thicker line over the monster?
But great stuff kate, tis exciting stuff seeing your new work each time^-^
amazing!!!! I think you've cracked it!! good work on the colours! It makes me warm and fuzzy inside! x x x
I'm amazed at how well the collage works like this! x
