Warts an’ all – I Find Him Relaxing

To Draw on
Axel Scheffler was in our town reading from The Gruffalo and other books he has illustrated with the author Julia Donaldson.
The pages of the book were shown on the electronic canvas behind him.
He then proceeded to use it as a traditional canvas to show how he draws the Gruffalo.
This picture is from Zog and the Flying Doctors. Seems like a curious cat.
I’m a Fan of Nesting Dolls

I’m a Fan of … #98.
A poisonous wart on his nose
I revisited the Gruffalo sculpture. One passes the mouse and the Gruffalo when walking up to the castle ruin Windeck in Weinheim.
Here are some more pictures and a short explanation about this sculpture.
