Quokka- Christmas (shepherds)

The lighting in this one was a lot of fun. I’m not sure how quokkas would go being shepherds, seeing as how they’re a little bit smaller than sheep…

Merry Christmas everyone, thanks for reading the Quokka this year… thanks for all your comments. Have a safe holiday break.

James 🙂

Quokka- Movies (Where the Wild Things Are)

The outdoor movie season has started again in Perth. I love it, it’s a brilliant part of Perth’s summer culture. One of the cinemas is called Movies By Burswood– it’s entirely volunteer-run and has raised over a million dollars for children’s charities over the years.

I’m really looking forward to the film Where the Wild Things Are. Coincidentally, the film also comes out today. So I decided to put it on the screen- or at least an homage to the original picture book that the movie is based on.

Quokka- hedge maze

A friend asked what the relevance of the hedge maze was in this cover. I wanted to say it was international hedge maze day, but really there was no particular reason at all- it was just a hedge maze. It was a fun cover to do… I got to think up lots of weird little situations, almost like a ‘Where’s Wally‘ illustration (but nowhere near as complicated).
