This pretty much sums me up.

ILUSTRARTE is an opportunity to see the world’s best illustration and to bring together in Lisbon illustrators, writers and readers of all ages.
Illustrators from all over the world are invited to take part on the competition sending 3 original illustrations, unpublished or published after January 2009.

Since I really want to get into childrens illustration, I thought I’d give this comp a go and came up with 3 illustrations based on a short story I’d come across. I’m hoping to get these printed so I have plenty of time to submit them but I’m reeeeeally nervous about doing so for some reason!

This is the first time I’ve illustrated anything for a story so it was quite challenging, but really good fun – I can’t wait to do more of this in the future.
