My collaboration with Artists from all over the world

I'm very proud to say I am part of this wonderful project which features so many incredibly diverse and talented artists from all parts of the world.
Organized by the extremely talented ink artist from the UK  - Anita Inverarity who I met through the best art community on the internet ► Red Bubble
All artists who are part of the illustration group were offered the chance to join in. The task was to create a children's alphabet and number book for schools. I was happily assigned the number 12. 


When coming up with the concept and brainstorming the number twelve… I immediately thought of it how it’s also known as a dozen… and so of course the first thing that came to mind was a dozen eggs. So this number is made up of chicken’s/hens & egg’s all in lots of 12. Each colour has twelve images for the kids to find and count. (ie. 12 purple hens, 12 green eggs, 12 pink hens, 12 lime green eggs etc.)

 Anita has organised for this children’s book project to begin first as a printed book shown in an exhibition site at The Children’s Services Centre in Aberdeen Scotland- The largest purpose built office and training centre for the Childcare Sector in the North East of Scotland. From there it will visit 11 Schools in Aberdeen (for 1 Month periods) and be displayed in their Childcare Settings.


Here's the whole fabulous book created by artists from all over the world.
To view each work and artist in more detail visit the Red Bubble Superheroes Alphabet Gallery
















If you're from a pre-school or school and this intresests you... then you can order each work as an afforable postcard for less than $2 each and create your own little book to show the kids at school?
