I guess you can tell I haven't done a lot of art for a while as my posts are few and far between lately. I have been working over the last 12 months, researching, compiling, photographing and designing all pages for this history book. This in only a rough draft at the moment of the front cover but I have to put together a book detailing 150 years of history at this public school. This project not only has become very interesting but time consuming searching through much of the school archives, scanning documents and photos. It's a very daunting challenge to take this on myself but as usual I throw myself in.The best parts I've come across so far are the incredible stories that have come through people's recollections of their school days. I'm just amazed at the stories that are funny, sad, cheeky and stories of hardship that have been filtered through. I set up a facebook page for ex students and teachers and the stories that have been sparked through connections and photos are wonderful. I can't wait for this project to finally get to print. It may be a 90 page plus book but I'm just working page to page and keeping all the information flowing.
Ok back to the typing board.....
