A long cherished ambition of mine has been to create a children’s book, the perfect project to combine two of my creative passions- writing and illustration.
After two years of hard work, and months of fundraising and crowd sourcing, we have made it happen.
I am so pleased and proud to present to you my very own children’s book- A Flamboyance of Flamingos.
The book is written and illustrated by yours truly, and is a quirky little story about animals and collective nouns.
I decided to produce the book myself, and raised the funds for printing through a crowd sourced Kickstarter campaign. Backers were asked to pledge and get behind the project, and in return could earn themselves not only first edition copies of the book, but colouring in books, limited edition signed and numbered prints and even original artworks.
The campaign was an enormous success, fuelled by the incredibly supportive community of friends and family around me and across the world, we made our budget and made the dream become a reality.
