This week I finished the last of a long sequence of deadlines. I rushed and panicked, and then sent everything in on time anyway (so why worry so much?). And now I have this feeling of release. You know that moment when a helium balloon escapes your hands and it bobs around within arm's reach for a moment before zooming upwards into the great void of sky?
That's exactly how I feel: at the moment I'm bobbing around, not far from removed from my previous project. I can feel the rush of air, and that sense of free breathing. I'm done! Yay!
But, any second now, I'll zoom into the great unknown and I'll be surrounded by the outer atmosphere. What? You mean there's no work on the horizon, for the foreseeable future? Eek!
In the meantime, I thought I'd share some of the illustrations I completed for my latest illustration projects. They're all commissioned by Pearson Education and Oxford University Press (both in South Africa).
