Hand drawn repeat pattern design, I used ink and then pencil crayon on top. The idea was to create a realistic scene of what life was like for me in the 80's - as opposed to cutesy images of children playing with puppies etc.
an illustration from the dragon pearl book - he showed his mother the pearl that he had found. She was delighted and they decided to sell it the next at the market. With the money from selling the pearl they would not go hungry for a while. She took the pearl and to keep it safe she put it into the nearly empty rice jar.
