Sally the Shy Dragon is our latest character.

Directed at the 5 to 8 year old group, it is a story that will delight the child that finds keeping up with others difficult.....There is nothing wrong with being modest; in fact it may be a virtue.

The backgrounds for Sally's story are watercolour paintings.

Sally herself is a mixed media image using a basic drawing and acrylics which are enhanced with Adobe Photoshop.

Sally is the sort of character that would translate into an animated cartoon.

Articles with text and photographs by Margaret Murray have been commissioned by and appeared in several publications in:

Australia

New Zealand

The United States

Black and White drawings for Educational or Instruction Manuals can be helpful and informative as in this example from

Many of our commissions are for images and illustrations for books and stories that have been written by authors that are interested in giving original gifts to their friends and relatives. They are limited editions in the strictous sense of word....There may be only a few copies in circulation but they are beautifully written, illustrated and produced.

As is "God and the Cat"hand- written in calligraphy by Elisabeth Finlay.
