Think Think

So how do I put all this together?
How do I compliment the text with my images?
As I said I spent time looking at other works.
So how am I going to make the chase sequence interesting? Different.
They are running threw the woods and?
"Run Run as Fast as You Can"
I'm asking this question to my girlfriend: How?
my response is a tilt of the head followed by a ???
Then !!! followed by :D
and off running I went down the rabbit hole of my imagination making sure that the wooded path they are running on follows some line from one page to the next with all its twist and turns, of that wonderful game, it was fun plain and simple.
I have to thank my Editor Vivian for allowing me to run with my idea,
also Aidana WillowRaven who designed the text for the book and seemed to follow what I was thinking with out the two of us ever talking about it.
The photo is part of the breakdown of the story some of my thinking processes that took place while creating the artwork
