Another Dog.

A picture book by Mike Pynn about the love and care shared with a dog, and the companionship that follows. Warm colors, textured illustrations and recurring characters connect the story from the first welcome to a new beginning.

My role: storyboard development, original illustrations, cover design and interior text layout. Written by Mike Pynn. Interior pages are reproduced from the supplied ebook; the book mockup is a portfolio presentation.

From sketch to story

Building the book.
