I found the Scott McCloud Realism vs Abstract diagram/chart super interesting during the MA, and trying to make the leap from observation to imagination. You always had a natural ability to just draw from your imagination with ease that I have always been impressed with (not jealous at all, oh no no!). I think you should do this class with grown ups now. I would love to come!! Xxx

Well I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop, how lucky were the kids to have you come to their school! Absolutely love the comparisons of crocodiles and horses and Picasso’s ‘friends’. Brilliant Tor!

Love this, and equally love a school visit. Kids have so much to teach us! Thanks Tor,

Do you think the Isle of Man is similar? Just men peeing and shouting?

A fun read and how lucky the students were to have you teach them. Your “Isle of Dog” sketch is so, SO great!

This sounds like a brilliant class. You were the incarnation of Miss Honey, I’m sure. Lucky students.

(I once nearly got trampled over by a flock of sheep (a flock?) in Mudchute farm. It wouldn’t have made a pretty picture.)

Ah - the eternal struggle, what's real. Just love all those line ups. Do worry about you being in touch with your ahem ex bottom left - given the hint of voyeurism?

Kids don't know Sylvester any more? Suffering succotash!

I'd have been the contrary child, insisting the Picasso on the right is amazing and wanting to see more of those. 😆

Love this, Tor! That is exactly how I imagined the Isle of Dogs before I passed it running the marathon and was extremely disappointed. And knackered.
