Summary:

These are activity/just-for-fun pages to be used as a fun break between the short stories in my Plant Life series of books.

Project Goals:

  • Create a variety of activity pages

  • They should be fun to look at and interact with

Basic Info:

  • Original Art: 10 in. X 15 in. Ink on Bristol board.

  • Printed at 6.5 in. X 10.25 in. as interior pages for my Plant Life series of books.

Process:

Like all pages in my Plant Life series, they were drawn traditionally with pen and paper, then prepared for printing in Photoshop and InDesign.

  • Rare Plant Life - A silly play on old style scientific plant illustrations and descriptions.

  • Lil Fren’s Word Search - A classic word search, with some hidden surprises mixed in.

  • Strawberry Cat’s DIY Tattoos - A tongue-in-cheek play on old style temporary tattoos.

  • Salon de Strawberry Cat - An activity page that lets people draw silly hairstyles for Gerta, the main character of Plant Life.

  • Gerta’s Hairstyles - Some fun examples of Gerta dressed up as famous cartoon characters.

Programs Used: Traditional drawing, Adobe Photoshop, and InDesign
