The crow who wants to travel the whole world and see everything there is to see

crow asks the cat to go traveling with him

Good morning (or afternoon, depending on what part of the world you are in!) all. I am in the process of finishing off a project I started almost (or more maybe) a year and a half ago. Life got a bit disrupted in the mean-time and the pictures started to gather dust under my bed. I decided to get my lazy ass moving and finish it once and for all and now the end is in sight!

crow meets with penguins in antartica and is amazed they can't fly but they can swim

Its a children's story called 'The Crow'. Full story can be read here. Its the story of a crow who wants to travel the whole wide world and see everything there is to see. He doesn't want to go on his own though but he can't find anyone to travel with him. Then the wind whispers in his ear and off they go together! I have just finished all the full colour pages and now I just want to do something little on each of the writing pages.
I have it translated into Irish for an irish language publisher in dublin. So hopefully it might come to life and be on bookshelves within a year!

I was sent a link to the Irish Arts Blog and happened upon this- your work is beautiful, but I particularly love the last picture.

Good luck with getting it published- I'll be keeping an eye out for it!

I love your crow stories and your artwork.
Especially when crow meets the penguins in Antarctica and when crow and the wind go on their travels.
Crows are my favourite birds, they have magical and mystical qualities.
When crow and wind go travelling it reminds me of when I’m dreaming, the energy of the dream wind houches me into the dreamland.
Inspiring work and a dedication to the fabulous crow.
Good luck with the publication. I’ll be first in the queue to buy one.

Hi Cliodhna, that artwork is superb. I love the white dots around the swimming penguin. Very clever. How exciting to be published! Good luck.
