Will post that next week. <br /><br />I love how even though the book wasn't to your liking, your art is totally amazing. Love the chaos and the colors.Magaly Guerrerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295455026184103230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579859052854471360.post-24958809952139006012013-09-28T02:31:45.568+01:002013-09-28T02:31:45.568+01:00I love your background!

Your artwork double-page spread is so jolly, it would be a great illustration for a children's book, and has plenty to stir the imagination, colourful and full of detail and quirky items. <br />When I was young in WW2 we were always told that we should never pick up any sweet or sweets we found on the road or pavement because they might have been dropped from enemy airplanes and might be poisoned. No mention, you notice that it would be unhygienic, and for sure we would have picked them up and eaten them because we were always hungry and didn't have sweets anyway!

I love how a 20 minute read inspired you to create such a lively piece of art, bursting with details. The chain to link together the disparate parts of the story is a clever idea, I might just steal that one day :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511786178397090250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579859052854471360.post-1401537638840128352013-09-27T08:43:10.708+01:002013-09-27T08:43:10.708+01:00Superb pages!

The background alone is stunning. And all the parts you added, like the giraffe in the bed, the sewing machine, the monkey with his sweeties, and the way you tied everything together, was so entertaining, even if it didn't strictly follow the storyline. Cute and fun!!Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.com
