Olym Lee

Above: one of the development works by Olym Lee, Below finished illustrations from 'Big Rabbit Little Rabbit'.

This is Olym Lee's MA graduation project Big Rabbit and Little Rabbit a book to encourage children to overcome their fears. I particularly liked Olym's wild animals and her work both with the waters reflections and under water scenes.

Min-I, Yen

These gentle illustrations for 'The Best Place In The World' by Min-I, Yen  remind me of the illustrations by Koso Kakimoto for Mr Bear books by Chizuko Kuratomi. It is a lovely story about a friendship between a sun bear and a polar bear forged in a zoo, that continues when the polar bear is returned to his polar home.

Min I Yen has just graduated with an MA in illustration from Brighton University.

Dagmara Rudkin II

Some further examples from Dagmara Rudkin's MA portfolio. These works managed to combine the essence of costume, puppetry, theater and of course illustration as well as revealing Dagmara's rich Polish heritage.
