Ohhh My Strawberry Monkey


My Strawberry Monkey

Recommended Posts

Here they are, the whole family, so far.

If you haven't already, don't forget to check out the home of the cutest monkey around mystrawberrymonkey.com. Loads of free educational content and activities on there. Naturally, this is aimed at pre-schoolers, so if you have kids, nieces, nephews etc then spread the word, there's a new monkey in town and his cute and pink...:D

The website, the two books so far, iMessage stickers all designed in Affinity Designer...

...and then there were eleven! It's been an amazing 7 months so far this year. I've finally released the first two children's picture books and the characters continue to grow.

Ohhh yeah and I've won two awards, a king of pre-school educational content and a small business award from Theo Paphitis! Yep, Strawberry Monkey will get to meet him.

The website has been redesigned with loads of new content as well. To find out what it's all about head over to mystrawberrymonkey.com

It's been an exciting journey so far! And it all started with Affinity Designer!

So here it is, the official picture of me meeting Theo to collect my award for my children's picture books and preschool website mystrawberrymonkey.com
 
All the characters, both books and website were all created in Affinity Designer! It's been an exciting journey so far. This just goes to show that with an idea, a little dreaming and a lot of determination can take you to amazing places.:D

Just a little update with my preschool series. I’ve been working on some new characters and I’ve got rid of a few I wasn’t too sure about, maybe they’ll reappear!

Currently working on the 3rd book in the series. Hopefully not too long before that’s out...

What else do you do on a rainy day but stay inside and have some fun!

It's been an interesting journey so far and a lot of learns, three of the characters in this image were not around when I first started this project. Something I did learn along the way and made a conscience decision to change was the number of male characters, not sure why I had so many, it just seemed to be my default. Being aware that it's important to include female characters in the preschool arena especially as we live in a male dominated world has changed my approach to this project.

Stay tuned for some more exciting updates as I continue to document the journey. Whilst you're waiting don't forget to check out the website for loads of preschool games and activities, mystrawberrymonkey.com all created in Affinity Designer of course!
