An idea for the next Russian doll.
Once upon a time there was a peasant who had money and land enough, but as rich as he was, there was still something missing from his happiness: He had no children with his wife. Often when he went to the city with the other peasants, they would mock him and ask him why he had no children. He finally became angry, and when he returned home, he said, “I will have a child, even if it is a hedgehog.”
Then his wife had a baby, and the top half was a hedgehog and the bottom half a boy.

Not heard this story before, the way you’ve drawn the baby it’s really convincing, and that little hedgehog face has real character, what a cutie
I didn’t know it either, Phil. I’ve been listening to Pullman’s retelling of the Grimm brothers’ fairy tales on Audible and it was my favourite. (By the way, London Graphics Centre has ‘an event’ this weekend – a lot of very discounted art stuff if you’re passing.)
Yay, thanks for tip, I’ll pop in, never need much of an excuse to go the art shop!
LondonGraphics yard sale: This Saturday from 11am at Mercer Street carpark, Covent Garden.
