Sucker City

Sucker City concept drawing

This is a project /concept that I have been working on for a number of years. It originally started as an idea for an animated film. However after working professionally for a number of years in the film industry (see my film bio here). I had a stark realisation of how enormous that would be. So gradually I rewrote and revised until I  had a little short story. It’s now a dark childrens story. I intend to eventually  make it into an artists book.  I will be posting more concept work here.  I will also publish some extracts from the short story with illustrations.

Illustration 

Here is the first watercolour illustration for the Art Book and the text it refers to

“A metal hand a robot say
Picked her up and carried her away

Over the piles of junk so high
Through a tunnel towards the sky

Happily she saw the sun
A moment later there was none”
