This is a collage of watercolour paintings from a personal children's book project I recently completed. My 7-year-old cousin read me this simple, fun story called "I Want a Small Piece of String". The story simply lists all these animals holding a small piece of string with a bigger animal on it.

To my surprise, the story wasn't illustrated! My cousin clearly loved the text, so I thought it'd be a great idea to draw each animal, and arrange it into a book for her. Also great practice for me with cartoony animal designs, and watercolour painting.

For the actual binding, I took some real string, and glued it onto the pages, so each animal is sitting on, and holding a real piece of string (hence why they're all drawn with their arm raised). The book folds out so you can see the whole big chain, or you can flip the pages one by one. I'll try to get a shot of the book. I haven't given it to my cousin yet...can't wait to see if she likes it!

Lov it man...I've wanted to do a kids book for a while too. Just never found the time or the right inspiration.

I love the cat by the way...classic but stylish
