Written & Illustrated by Alex G Griffiths

"After George visits the Museum of Wildlife with Grandad, all he can think about is bugs! The very next day he goes out hunting, but he soon finds there are no more insects left in the garden, and the ones he has captured in jars don’t look very happy… George is about to learn exactly why bugs are so important. 

A brilliant, vibrant debut from Alex G Griffiths, featuring a wonderful grandfather-grandson relationship."
Sample spreads
Endpapers
I designed the endpapers to look like doodles from George's notebook.
Sketchbook
I fill plenty of sketchbook pages when planning out my work. I like to make thumbnails of page spread layouts and try different character designs quickly before moving on to more finalised drawings.
I use a variety of pens and old brushes to create my illustrations, and then move into Photoshop to add the finishing touches.
