My latest project is a Kamishibai, or “paper drama”, featuring a great story inspired by Nick Greaves’ book, “When Hippo Was Hairy”. 4h1zc

Here are two s from the story, featuring Cheetah and Tsessebe, as well as a rather panicked warthog:

The Creator wondered, “who is the fastest of my animals?”

Cheetah and Tsessebe were both really fast. They decided to have a race!

I’m really happy with how everything came out, especially with the limited time I have to finish this. There’s a really African feel to these images, and the two characters worked out really well.
