  BBC's Africa wildlife documentaryPages from a final year project of university degree. The idea was to create an illustrated book in a graphic novel style, depicting scenes from the BBC's wildlife television series, Africa – which could be used as promo or as a special accompaniment if you purchased the series. It was really just an expression of my love of wildlife and the natural world.
