Collaboration as illustrator and creative consultant for the children's book The Shapeless Shape written by Victor Saad ( Experience Institute ) and David Kelley ( IDEO )

To make the design of the illustrations more attractive, I proposed making them out of wood.
First, I showed some figures on cardboard and then I made a sketch of each page on chipboard.
Throughout, @s wanted to play with the idea of using simple shapes to create each image. And so, in a very conceptual way, tell this story that helps @s find their place in the world.

Finally, for a more precise finish, we contacted the help of the artist and designer Matthew Hoffman who let us use his workshop to cut each figure with a laser cutter.

After hand-painting each piece, we perform layout tests and photograph the different pages in Dan Kelleghan studio.

The video explains the process and motivation for carrying out this project.
