The Space Giraffe Story
The little giraffe always wanted to be an astronaut. Join the little giraffe on his adventures as he builds the most amazing space rocket, flies to space, and plays games with a little green alien.

Like most projects I always start with a pencil and paper!
Getting the right shape for The Space Giraffe took a lot of trial and error to get him right.
Every approach I took I couldn't get past that he looked like a fat light bulb.
Once I was happy, I scanned in the images and took them to Illustrator.
I then used my new HUION KAMVAS PRO 13 to illustrate them.
Along the way, I really started to discover my style, which was great.

Where it all began
One evening in 2019 I was putting Charlie to bed and he asked me to make up a bedtime story. One year later that story has materialised into this book.
This book is dedicated to my little boy Charlie, whom I love with all my heart.
I hope you love this story as much as we do.
​
Thank you
