Big Team Scribble colouring book


a while back i submitted a doodle for a project called the Big Team Scribble, organised by super illustrator Lisa Currie. the idea was to customise a carriage for a big colouring book train. above is my carriage doodle which features in the finished book. its currently available to pre-order here, some of the cash raised from sales will go to UNICEF. good book, good cause, you can't go wrong!
