Character design commissioned by The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester

I was so exited to be asked by The Bridgewater Hall to design a character for their ‘Music Maker’ Toddler & Baby Sensory sessions.

In the end we decided on a cute little monster character.

The brief was to draw him so he could be animated [slightly] - for social media and as a moving image that could be projected on a wall during sessions - and also used as a static image on banners.

Apparently the children loved him, and had photos taken with him ❤️ and one child was even dragged away yelling “ I JUST WANT TO SEE THE MONSTER AGAIN!“ Haha 😍
