RUN RUN CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
|
This was my first ever commissioned work. I worked under author Van Bette Robertson McBride's script in 2005 on her book "Run Run Catch Me If You Can", about about a little African American kid called CF who was always getting himself into trouble due to issues in his home life...until he goes to live with Granma who teaches him some good old fashioned manners. Through her, CF learns to appreciate the things he has. Granma believes that he's been spoiled in his young life, and, as often is the case, the material possessions given to the kid are a substitute for a parent's time and

attention. At first his life with Granma is hard but CF soon grows to love and appreciate his newfound life, even learning to pray and follow the rightous path. Working with the late Van Bette was great, and even though she lived in Texas with me here in Ireland, I feel that we created a great book together.
ILLUSTRATIONS FOR MY OWN STORIES

Santa To The Rescue is another of my up and coming books. When little Tommy sneaks onto a rocket ship on Christmas Eve, it's up to Santa and his reindeers to save the day. Will he get back home for Christmas?Far Left: Mr Bigmoney is one of my own children's books that I've been working on in little bits and pieces over the past few years. As a freelance artist I've never had enough time to actually complete it as I've been too busy bringing other people's dreams to life with my art, but it's something that has kept me entertained. It's about a guy who's sole aim in life is making millions of dollars; at nature's expense. He has a nightmare of becoming a little bird and it's a bit of a lesson in karma. Is it enough to make him care for something than money? We'll see when i finish it

Believing in the development of children at an early age and their standing in society, I incorporate moral themes in my own children's books. I was inspired by the idea of "Run Run Catch Me If You Can" being designed to educate both adults and children about Attention Deficit Disorder, and I carried the idea of educational children's books into my own books "Mr BigMoney", which promotes the idea of caring for the planet and looking at the world in a positive manner, and "Maybe" (another one still in the works) which is influenced by Buddhist philosophy and encourages young people to look on the bright side, even in the face of apparent failure or defeat.
If you like what you see and would like me to illustrate your childrens books, i typically charge between 30-40 dollars (roughly 30 pounds) an illustration. Count up how many illustrations you require and we can work from there.
