'Dumped' pages 12-13

This page still needs a lot of work. I like the idea of the brightly coloured people contrasting against the drabness of the kennel backdrop. The three lines of kennels will eventually show many of the dogs in them being picked by people and taken home, except for Squid, who no one is interested in.

'Dumped' pages 8-9

I like the idea behind this page, but would like to reprint the kennel worked and the dog as they are not quite right.

'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.
