‘Carrot’ is a story I made up for my youngest. To her, Carrot’s story was amusing, but also fascinating and comforting, for me too. So, when I started making art as a calming daily practice, I chose to illustrate Carrot first from among the other stories that I have waiting in line.
I intentionally illustrated by hand using just biro pen and water colour and I did not utilise ai (Yikes!) or digital drawing tools (except for minor edits), as I believe that deep down, we resonate with handmade art so it is an important way to inspire and prompt wonder.
