I created a bestiary journal 'Isle of Detritus', the first of a proposed book series, to communicate the impacts of ocean plastics on ecosystems in an engaging way. This project has allowed me to explore and gain skills in creature design, character writing and illustration layout. This is the story of researcher, Dr. Drosswin, discovering an island of trash and studying unique animals who've adapted to survive the waste.
