I created this short illustrated book in my spare time at home, with the aim to complete it in time for my dad, for Christmas. 
My sister and I asked him to write down a list of different stories from his mischievous childhood, which we then chose one each to illustrate into a book. 
The story I selected was my very favourite of them all (which I had already heard before), the bin lid story.
My dad had a best friend nicknamed Weed. The two of them used to get up to all kinds of naughty things, often resulting in someone's property being damaged, or their cabbages flattened...

I had a lot of fun illustrating along side this story, although if I were to recreate it, I'd probably use some colour to make the story more playful and exciting. At the time, I didn't have long before it had to be complete, so black and white was the easiest option.
