Does That Offend You Yeah? In NZ

Does That Offend You Yeah? In NZ. In Auckland

Aliens

Just for fun...

Turns out I won't be working on this children's book any longer :(

I had been working on a book concept for a story by Maurice Shadbolt, a good NZ author who past away a few years ago. The publisher has decided to go for someone else as artist however, which is disappointing for me as I put a lot of work into characters and concept. I was under the impression it was going to go ahead... Anyway no point moping about it, here are some of my storyboard sketches for the book.... Its about a lonely mountain.
