The next installment of my storybook about the difficult relationship between a father and son on their trip to experience the Festival of Animals on the island where the father grew up. Here the father is struggling a little bit.

It is a fun challenge trying to create a longer form of work, especially with a narrative. The story will be clearer when I add the words, I’m just not sure yet how I’ll do that. I’m also really enjoying using oil pastels, and really appreciating the fact that all the pages have already been messed up and splattered with colour, it’s so much easier psychologically than starting with a blank white page, interestingly.
