Colin The Crab

Colin The Crab

Posted in: Artwork

I’m excited to introduce you to Colin The Canoe Lake Crab. He is a fascinating character who lives in Southsea, Portsmouth. Colin resides in Canoe Lake, where he navigates with his grand shell and powerful claws. This ancient, giant crab is a master of disguise, blending seamlessly into his surroundings while hunting for his favourite meal, Canoe Lake swans! With his sideways walk and ability to speak duck, Colin adds a touch of mystery to the serene setting. Colin The Crab is just one of many Portsmouth-themed tales that I am thrilled to illustrate and share later this year. Please see the links below for two FREE taster stories…
