Late, late, late. A couple of months back fellow Irish illustrator, BRENB, asked me to test Rory's Cubes out to see how/if they could be a useful tool. Rory's story Cubes are a set of 9 dice, they have images instead of spots, the aim is to throw the cubes and make up a story based on the result.
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.
