saw the challenge posted on an Illustrators Forum I belong to. When I read through
the requirements I noted that quite a few of the words provided in the brief matched the illustrations I
had been making so I entered. Who knows how that story and the set of words might develop!”
David goes on to tell us why he participated in the challenge :
“I signed up for the #6FrameStoryChallenge for several reasons. I enjoy constructing narratives so
choosing words then providing illustrations for them is quite a rudimentary way to get started with a
story. It also means that the story can grow in quite an organic way, especially if the process provides
the possibility of a much broader collaboration, which this does.
I was excited by the prospect of potentially reaching such large audience with my work. I am an
illustrator and my pictures tell a story so the possibility of the illustrations doing what they are intended
to do – ie entertain children is an opportunity I didn’t want to miss.
I also have the purely selfish reason too – that my illustrations might be exposed to a large and
diverse audience which might provide me with more opportunities as an illustrator.
