Lears Quirky Limericks
This is the first book I got printed professionally and bound. Whoop. This is my self initiated final year project. I chose a selection of 8 of my favourite Edward Lear's limericks and illustrated them in a more contemporary way than years before when a black and white sketch was used. I used illustration, and collage with a strong use of pattern and texture.

Dear Avril, if I was so smart,
ReplyDeleteAnd you had your own shopping cart,
Your work I would buy
(Truly beautiful .... sigh).
Edward Lear would be pleased with your art.
.... and he was thought good enough to teach Queen Victoria how to paint.
I shall be in touch via email.
