Ther City of Edmonton Colouring & Activity Book artwork

I got a few hard copies of the artwork I'd worked on for The City of Edmonton's Colouring & Activity Book. The main objective was to teach pool safety in a fun way.

Some of the drawings still make me smile after several months of finishing it:

1) The little boy and girl standing proudly with their lifejackets on
2) The three kids in "Always swim with a Buddy" and
3) The two kiddies in "If you can't swim, stay in shallow water."

It's nice to see a big project complete and printed officially.
