A selection of Marina Renee-Cemmick sketches to illustrate the Mystical Birds

New book project
The above sketches are from a yet to be published Mystical Birds book for children and adults only.
As part of a future MMB Productions project, Marina Renee-Cemmick was asked to visualise four 'Mystical Birds' who were about to launch into a series of adventures. Their first adventure discovers where they came from and what surprises they are capable of. These images have been adopted by Magdalena and the Mystical Birds - and some of their stories will be published early next year.
