The book is focused on storytelling and based on the creative technique of collage. 
The concept is that monsters only exist in your imagination, alongside all your creativity.

and then create their own monsters and write their own stories in the 'maker'. 
( Photoshop lite for kids ).
The app has 3 parts; a 'storybook', a 'monster maker' and a 'meet the characters'.

Artist / Designer

Hello again. 
This is Daniella the Fine Artist.
I have a BA (Hons) Fine Art, Michaelis, University of Cape Town, with a graphic design major. 

When it comes to my fine art, I work on paper, only! 
That is my medium and my identity -  essentially I draw.

My work has 2 general themes:
1.  portraiture (of people that I care about).
2. Illustration of animal type characters.

I love texture, pattern and mark making. I enjoy pen and the inkyness of ink on paper. I am a storyteller and a dreamer.

I produce a variety of different kinds of work, exhibiting a solo show titled 'Hunting Season', and currently working on my second show titled ' Mythology'. It is very exciting. 

Pls contact me should you wish to order a bespoke drawing.

Our interpretation of physical fitness is the attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind fully capable of naturally, easily, and satisfactorily performing our many and varied daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure."
