How the books are made

Cut, layer, tell

01

Cut

Each illustration starts as flat shapes cut by hand from coloured paper — no gradients, no filters, no shortcuts.

02

Layer

Shapes stack three to five deep. Every layer casts a small hard shadow, so the scene gains real depth.

03

Tell

One sentence per spread, written to be read aloud. If a page cannot be told in one breath, it is cut.
