My name is Alice Alder. I'm a twenty-four-year-old postgraduate student from Western Australia. For the past three years, I studied visual arts and media relations and design. I was invited to do honors but decided to go on and work as a graphic designer. During my second year of media studies, I wrote and illustrated Ahwen's Journal. I had been drawing this little fox and his many friends for three years, and I finally wrote a story to bring life to them. A lot of books use digital illustrations, but I like to focus on the hand-drawn qualities of water color illustrations. I combine my skills in media and art to bring the book to life.
