Hero's Hood Illustrated Booklet

Hero's Hood was written by Pamela Paul but the real creative mastermind behind it all was Janet Atkinson, Artistic Director and Choreographer. I met with Janet throughout the development of her dance / drama / visual art hybrid and the result of my collaboration with her was the booklet for the story and some backdrops. There were no words in my creation and it was a sort of picture book for adults. The story was about having a second chance and surviving hardship in love and in life. There was a religious element which I tried to portray in a universal way, but I by no means included all faiths. I regret particularly leaving out the Muslim faith as it is definately one of central importance on the planet. However, I didn't want to stress too much about religion; just the need to have faith during a time of struggle.
