Genre


Since his debut in 1983, author and illustrator Olivier Dunrea has created a steady stream of picture books, including concept books, stories of family life—modern and ancient—and stories about artists. Many of Dunrea's picture books testify to his love of animals and his interest in archaeology and folklore of the British Isles, and several—including Ravena, The Trow-Wife's Treasure, and Bear Noel—take place in a similar land of Dunrea's own creation: the mythic island of Moel Eyris. "I don't write books or make pictures for children," Dunrea once told Something About the Author (SATA). "I make them for myself. It just so happens that children like what I do as much as I do!"

ALL HALLOWS EVE

I love this composition!

Working on a new picture book that I have had in my mind for a few years now. I wrote the story in September of this year and have been experimenting with the colour layouts.

The buildings will be a bit brighter. But I do like the contrast between the bright figures and the background.

This was the very first practice piece.

I love working with cut-out figures
