The making of Phanhabs Savanna’s change of seasons
The illustrations in my books are a mix of photographs, drawings and collages. The picture of the elephants on the left was taken by us in the Masai Mara on one of our safaris. I used it to illustrate the change of seasons in the savanna, where thunderclouds building up announce the rainy season. For the illustration I changed the background of the picture and the light on the elephants became more dramatic. More animals were added to the scene, as Phanhabs is a wildlife activity book with an abundance of animals, where children can search for and name the animals. The picture on the right is a segment of an illustration from Phanhabs Savanna. Phanhabs stands for “phantastic habitats”. They are creative impressions of the habitats of wild african animals.
