Jake McDonald has long been developing something of a very extended family of monsters but in his final project he chose to let his band of monsters loose on a traditional ladybird story book called the Secret Garden. They proceed to trash the book in a whole host of different ways from crushing letters, throwing them and generally being disrespectful to the inhabitants of the original story. Aimed at children just at the threshold of reading it becomes a fun way to introduce words and an opportunity for a parent and a child to discuss a story rather than just read it. The concept is an original one and there's plenty of room for it to grow.
Jake's book was printed by Martels printers in the old town allowing the viewer to appreciate the telling of the story and visual sequence. He also had some illustrations enlarged to A3. These looked particularly stunning. The monsters were originally drawn as monoprints and when enlarged the grainy line contrasted well with the sharpness of the type.
