Ralfy Rabbit - Original illustration number 5

This is a unique opportunity to buy an original ink and coloured pencil illustration made by myself featuring cheeky little Ralfy Rabbit from my first children's picture book! 'Wanted! Ralfy Rabbit, Book Burglar' was published by Bloomsbury Publishing in January 2015 and has since been published in 14 languages.

This drawing was made in 2015, one of a handful of drawings I made for some promotional material and features Ralfy lying reading by torch light - this is a very similar drawing to Ralfy original number 4 but features Ralfy with a different facial expression and reading a different book to the other drawing.

As with the majority of my drawings, this illustration was drawn on Fabriano 5 white watercolour paper. The piece is 1/8 of a watercolour sheet which I've torn to size - it has 3 rough torn deckled edges and a straight cut edge on the right only and measures 25cm x 17.5cm. The illustration itself is approximately 17cm x 9cm in size and the Fabriano paper watermark is visible running along the bottom.

I've signed the drawing in pencil on the bottom right corner and will spray with fixative before posting. The inks I use are NOT lightfast but with fixative the illustration will have some good protection against fading, however I recommend that you choose somewhere out of direct sunlight to hang it.

This illustration will be wrapped in a cellophane sleeve and shipped in a hardback envelope. I'll send the illustration tracked special delivery within the UK free of charge. If you are out of the UK I have set the world shipping rate at £5 plus £1 extra per item if you buy more than one. The rest of the cost of international shipping I will cover myself as a thank you for your purchase.

Whilst I will do my best to get any drawings you purchase out to you as soon as possible, if you are overseas I'm afraid I can't make any guarantees that the drawing you've bought will reach you before Christmas as post can often move slower at this time of year. Hopefully the Christmas elves will be speedy and your drawing will be with you as soon as possible!

Many thanks for your interest in my work!
