Preliminary cover idea for an educational story about the little known condition that afflicts 1 in 11 persons in Canada

Limited Edition Book

Picture
This is a cover idea for a limited edition book dealing with iron overload. Diagnosed with this potentially fatal condition at 48 I have been sporadically working on a limited edition book which has yet to be completed. An art book that raises awareness of Iron overload informed by personal experience and the Canadian Hemachromatosis Society.


Samples of some quick sketching practice

The pretty fare maiden came tripping down the stair,,,,, from a line in a song that originates in the tenth century ..passed down by my grandmother. I am developing characters to illustrate the song, and hope to animate it in some way... still playing with the idea.
