Denver Penny

Close to completion, A Day in the Life of Denver Penny will probably hit shelves later this year/early next. The images were produced in crayon and charcoal. These images are unedited and fresh off the drawing board:

Little Denver Penny eager to tuck into his favourite breakfast, Grandpa's omlette!

Denver is told about the upsetting mills, which give coins the raised edge.

Denver imagines his grandpa as a young penny, being packed into a roll by his parents,
ready to ship to the bank.

Grandpa Wheatley describes a school trip to Detroit Zoo, his destination as a youngster.

This wasn't a requested piece, but I thought a nice end to the book after the final page for the inside back cover. The piece is a bit special to me, as the two characters are based on my husband and me.
