reconstruction

Life on Our Planet required eight detailed pen and ink illustrations, reflecting animals and plants that Sir David Attenborough discusses in this important and timely text.  There was also a map to complete.

Many of the illustrations were straight forward, however reconstructing the extinct Tarpan horse, and fitting the enormous bulk of a Blue whale and the height of Giant kelp onto one sheet posed their own peculiar challenges.

This is the most prestigious of all the titles I have worked on, and I am extremely proud to be associated with this publication.
