'Dumped' Endpapers

'Dumped' Cover

I really like the texture of the collograph print on the brow paper but am not keen on the type face, it appears very fat when seen along side the printed images. I would like to replace this with the typeface I made and printed for my newer book, but in the same brown colour as the printed dog.

Potato prints and collographs in the sequential image project

I thought about drawing line drawings of dogs underneath but felt that they wouldn't be bold enough and would get lost behind the bars. After some experimentation I decided to use a mixture of ripped cardboard prints for the main characters and potato prints using gouache paint for the rest of the characters. I liked the way the gouche merged with the moisture from the potato to give the dogs more organic markings in contrast to the starkness of their printed outlines.

Lino print in the sequential image project.

I decided to use print in the sequential image project because I thought that the repetitive nature of the kennel fronts in rescue kennels would lend themselves well to lino printing.

I decided to produce a wordless picture book for my sequential image project. It tells the story of an unwanted dog that is dumped at an animal shelter and loses all hope of finding someone to love him, until someone eventually does.
