The setting...

What is the most logical play ground for a Pigeon who thinks he's a Ninja??? Japan of course.... part of the book is set in the streets of ancient Japan!!! Here are some of the images we have used for inspiration!!

Our inspiration...

These are the kinds of parents I hope will LOVE Pinje Nijin! Individual,creative, confident and a bit alternative! 






And these are the kids... imaginative, individual and adventurous!!! 







The main characters!!


Pinje Nijin is convinced that he is a ninja!!! His best friend Rat is Pie-Rat!! Together they have lots of adventures, make new friends and escape the boring ally that they live in! 

Pinje Nijin!!!!

Walking home from work one day, Barry and I started messing around and joking about the pigeon that seemed to be following us every step of the way! We thought about what it must be like from his perspective and decided that he was convinced he was a ninja and that he could take us out. This little discussion evolved into PINJE NIJIN...Ninja Pigeon!!!


Initial sketches!

Some fantastic sketches by Ash... he is so talented!
