Pipistrello

This past year I worked on a fantastic private commission for a lovely couple looking to create a book for their young son. The story they wrote is entitled Pipistrello.... which is Italian for bat. It's a tale about Divvy, a tiny bat whose quest involves problem-solving, creativity, and traveling around the globe.

A peak at some of the many pencil sketches

The final art was done in watercolor. Here's one of the spreads WIP.

I'm so pleased with how the final printed book came out. It was great to help make the client's vision come to life - and to learn so many different words for "bat"! I hope they enjoy their book for years to come.
