Illustrations and animation elements for Peter Rabbit, The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, and The Flopsy Bunnies for myRead.com ebooks. As Peter Rabbit was chiefly assembled as an animation, I mapped out and individually created all of the separate components to be manipulated and placed as needed by the animator. That required all characters, and some of the larger objects, to be fully articulated which meant ears, head, torso, and limbs, or walls, doors, roofs, etc. to each be separate. See the image for Mr. McGregor's garden shed and Peter Rabbit's family's furniture below, as well as the opening scene from The Flopsy Bunnies.
