    Default Work in progress - commission!

    Yes, I have finally been commissioned to illustrate somebody else's book!

    It's a story of a Mexican boy helping his Grandma to make Tamales for a Christmas treat, and includes a recipe for making them.

    Here are my initial character designs and the ingredients, plus a few other items:
