Creating The Illustrations - Rent Night

All the illustrations were created on an Apple iPad.
​​
Friday night was rent night and the kitchen, in the basement, became the hub of the house. Tenants would come to pay the rent while my mother and I sat at the kitchen table. I would help counting and bagging up the money. I remember those nights being warm and friendly with the tenants gossiping, complaining and talking politics around the table. From left to right are Stanley the Tailor. Jock, Blondies boyfriend, my mother, me, The Shoe Lady, and one of the Road Sweepers. Can you see the mouse, fag ends and cockroach.

Here is just one of the 40 illustrations and stories in the book.
