In November 2022, I had the pleasure of illustrating both the front and back covers of a coloring book titled “World Flags Coloring Book”. The invitation for this project came from London-based author Romilly Potter, following a recommendation by author Tara Annison, with whom I collaborated on “The Crypto Advent Calendar”. The book has been released on Amazon.com for English-speaking territories through the Kindle Direct Publishing program. It has received high praise from readers, particularly in the US and UK, earning a 5-star rating.

Creative Process

For this project, my role was solely to illustrate the front and back covers. The concept and other elements, such as product manufacturing and marketing, were handled by Romilly Potter and his team.

To develop this illustration, I requested a list of items to be included in the scene. Romilly promptly provided a list with over 100 items. Given the search-and-find style made famous by Martin Handford’s “Where’s Wally?”, which is characterized by its rich detail and multitude of elements, there was ample space to incorporate many items. As is often the case with illustrations of this nature, the creative process was extensive yet enjoyable. I enjoyed a great deal of creative freedom, with the author only suggesting minor adjustments.

5.0 out of 5 stars  – This is perfect for both adults and children alike

I recently purchased this world flags coloring book and I absolutely love it! The book cover is so eye-catching and vibrant, with a glossy finish that adds to its appeal. Not only is it great for coloring, but each page also includes interesting facts about each flag. This is perfect for both adults and children alike, as you can learn about each country’s history, geography and culture while having fun at the same time. The images are relevant to the country and flags being discussed, making it easier to understand the information provided.

The book also comes with a bonus game, which was a nice surprise – 92 things to find in the illustration on the cover of the book. My nephew loves this game; he really enjoys the facts and searching for things in book cover illustration. It’s definitely a great way to spend time together while learning something new.

One of my favourite features is that although each page has an illustration of the flag, there are no colour suggestions actually included in the book itself; instead you must look up online what colours are used for each flag. This makes it more interactive and fun – my nephew and I always spend extra time looking up different flags online to decide which colours we think look best on them!

Overall this World Flags Coloring Book makes an excellent gift idea. It offers hours of entertainment while also teaching interesting facts about world flags. Highly recommend!!

Between June and July 2022, I had the pleasure of illustrating the advent calendar titled “The Crypto Advent Calendar” for London-based author and crypto expert Tara Annison. The style was inspired by the classic “Where’s Wally?” by Martin Handford. It was officially unveiled to the world in October 2022 and was well-received by the author’s audience. I hope you all enjoy it!

Creation process

In this project, my sole responsibility was creating the illustration. The concept and other elements such as product manufacturing, online store setup, and marketing were all handled by Tara Annison and her team.

Tara communicated the project’s vision through emails containing texts and drafts, outlining the overall idea, desired memes, and providing essential information. I dedicated time to researching the cryptocurrency niche to enhance the original concept with complementary ideas and populate the scene with relevant elements. Throughout the process, I enjoyed significant creative freedom, with the author offering minor suggestions for adjustments.

Launch:

Tara and her team produced 250 copies of the product and launched a website. Their marketing efforts are concentrated on the cryptocurrency niche, leveraging the author’s expertise in the field.

CRYPTO ADVENT CALENDAR DESIGN REVEAL

I am BEYOND excited to reveal the amazing design for the world’s first Crypto Puzzle Advent Calendar! Pedro Ismar Souto has done the most incredible job of capturing crypto memes, web3 jokes and blockchain references within this Where’s Wally style design.

Only two doors are numbered, the first and the last, and to figure out the order of doors to open you need to solve crypto based clues on the inside of each door. This will really test your crypto knowledge and out of the box thinking so is great for any degens and cypherpunks out there! I’ll also be giving clues each day on my twitter (@TaraAnnison) so even if you’re new to the space or need a coffee or two in the morning to wake your brain up, you can still be assured of your daily choc.

There’s only 250 so order yours now on WAGMIgifts.com and have the most crypto-y Christmas possible

Camaleão was the first professional artist I met, who lived in a city neighboring mine at the time. This brought the perspective that one day, if I study a lot, I could be an artist too. I learned about this when I was 19, around mid-2008. This discovery had a huge impact on my growing mind and helped shape my own trajectory as an artist years later. .

This is my newest personal project / study. I wanted to create a scene influenced by Mad Max and post-apocalyptic aesthetics, and this is the end result.
