1970s coat - a sewing project


Artwork for my most recent illustration commission for Mighty Shepherd Publishing What do Construction Workers do? is with the printer. While waiting for final edits and so on I made a coat out of scrap material using a vintage 1970s sewing pattern. What better way to relax? I'll post about the book when it's launched and available to buy in early October.

What do Vets do? Illustrations for a non-fiction book by Emma Juhasz for Mighty Shepherd Publishing

What do vets do? by Emma Juhasz illustrated by Amanda Lillywhite

What do Vets do? is a non-fiction fully illustrated book for children aged six-years-old upwards. There are 48 pages of: information about the kinds of vets there are and the equipment they use; interesting facts about animals; information about how to become a vet in the UK and some fun activities. It was written by Emma Juhasz and published by Mighty Shepherd Publishing.

While working on this project I learnt a lot about animals including the fact that elephants can swim.

And gorillas sometimes need a dentist.


And what different kinds of vets do.


What do Vets do? is the first in the series of books for children about the kind of work they might like to do when they grow up. The second book in the series What do Construction Workers do? is soon to be published.
