About the Artwork

As the afternoon sun descends, a lone figure makes their way home after a day of shopping.

Created using watercolour and pencil on paper, this image aims to extend the existing laneway of Scott Alley towards an imaginary ongoing network of alleyways and shops

About the Artist

Marc Martin’s work is a world of dense colour, rich textures and the odd scribble. He draws inspiration from his surroundings, nature, animals, and the city he lives in.

Marc’s picture books have been published world-wide and have won numerous awards, including Best Illustrated Children’s Book by the New York Times for A River (2017) and We Are Starlings (2023).
