Brian Gallagher provides walkthrough of Rory's Story Cubes inspired Illustration

My best-buddy Bren B, and guardian to one of my children (ulp!) has rounded up a number of Irish illustrators who have been busy putting Rory's Story Cubes to the test. They are exploring how the dice can be used to inspire new ideas for illustrations. One of the illustrators, Brian Gallagher, has kindly put together a walkthough of the process he used to create his illustration (Thanks Brian). This has been posted by Bren B over at www.scamp.ie



Over to you Bren...

A friend of mine has developed an excellent creativity tool called Rory’s Story Cubes. Rory’s Story Cubes is a dice game/tool that helps people of all ages to develop their imagination and creativity through improvisational storytelling. It is comprised of set of 9 6-sided dice with a total of 54 unique images/symbols.



I asked some of my talented and generous illustrator friends to test them out to see how/if they can be useful tool. Brian Gallagher was one such illustrator. He has also agreed to show us the process he used to create the above image.



Over to you Brian…

Late Late Late - Steve Simpson creates Rory's Story Cubes inspired illustration

Late, Late, Late is a new illustration by Irish Illustrator, Steve Simpson . This is the first of 6 illustrations created by Irish Illustrators. Each illustrator was given a brief to create an image inspired by a roll of Rory's Story Cubes.

For Steve's illustration, he was given the image above as his starting point*. Can you spot the connections in his illustration.

Steve had the following to say...

If, like me, you sometimes prefer to work to a brief when developing your own work these are a a great idea. Would be great for comic strips as well as children's books.

*The dice in this image are from an earlier protoype, and do not reflect the outstanding quality of the dice used Rory's Story Cubes!
