We decided to collaborate and write a short story about an unlikely superhero who comes out of retirement to save the World from an evil villain, 'The Barbour'.
Sarah came up with all the ideas and I wrote the story for her. The illustrations she has done here depict the first victim mysteriously losing her hair, the second is our hero getting to grips with new technology in the form of the computer lady and his new sidekick robot dog and the last is the guard at Buckingham palace which they have to sneak past for the final showdown with The Barbour.
She has been learning about Andy Warhol and wanted to do the pics in bright colours but also comic-strip themed to incorporate the superhero genre. Therefore, we decided on rainbow paper where you use cocktail sticks to scrape through the surface to rainbow colours underneath. We think it works well as most of the action happens at night whilst our hero's grand daughter is asleep.
