T-Rex on the bus ...and meteorite

Illustration for "10 dinosaurs" project

This illustration belongs to the "10 dinosaurs" book project. It depicts a T-Rex alone on a bus heading towards the beach. Above his head, a meteor streaks across the sky, marking the end the countdown. The contrast between the carefree scene and the impending threat perfectly captures the ironic and dramatic atmosphere of the book.

"10 Dinosaurs" is an illustrated book project that tells the story of ten dinosaurs preparing for a beach vacation but facing a series of unexpected challenges along the way. Each page features a countdown, accompanied by detailed illustrations that include the corresponding number, here the big red ZERO around the meteorite and on the bus numberplate. It culminates in the appearance of the meteorite that seals the dinosaurs' fate.
The project includes a complete storyboad and three final illustrations, and it is based on the text by Marina Navacchia. For more information contact Mariapaola Pesce of Majestic literary agency at the mail address mariapaola.pesce@gmail.com. [2023]
