8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Popup Book
I was commissioned to paper engineer a five spread popup book for the 2017 Christmas special of 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. The concept, by Sean Lock, was for a gritty popup book. Illustrations by Mark Warrington.

Baby T. Rex designed for 'Popup and Play Dinosaurs'
Popup baby T. Rex designed for 'Popup and Play Dinosaurs' book published by Ciranda Cultural, commissioned by Elephant & Bird Books. Illustrations by Tracy Cottingham.
The baby T. Rex is not attached to the book and can be played with alongside the playmat which folds out from the final page. The dinosaur has a mechanism, so that once it has popped up, it can stand up by itself - which can be undone so the dinosaur can be placed back in to the book and stored safely until next time
