Here’s a great project I was involved in earlier this year.
The Better Beginnings literacy program asked a bunch of local illustrators to design a bookplate (one of those ‘This Book Belongs To’ labels that goes on the inside cover of a book).
The best part is, they’re all completely free to download and print!
You can download designs by me, Shaun Tan, Moira Court, Rebecca Cool, Karen Blair, Frane Lessac, Tracey Gibbs, Chris Nixon and Ambelin Kwaymullina.
Here’s my design (click to go through to the Better Beginnings bookplate page).
