flamingos

365 Day Sketch Project Update: 38-54

| Paul Greer

I’ve given myself a few weeks off, with the Big Clearout taking over pretty much every spare moment I have. It’s a shame because I would’ve like to have drawn many of the items we’ve been passing on as a record of past times. But the speed and quantity of things going meant that I just didn’t find the time to do it. Also tiredness.

  • 8 year old: What are these maps?
  • Parent: Well, the red shows where in the world flamingos actually live.
  • 8 year old: Why do they live in those places.
  • Parent: Well I think it might be because all those place are hot and damp, so there’s water, they like water.
  • 8 year old: It’s not red where we live.
  • Parent: No, they don’t normally live in England.
  • 8 year old: So why are they here.
  • Parent: Well, people brought them here, built them this enclosure, and they get fed everyday.
  • 8 year old: Oh…
  • 8 year old: So they’re trapped.
  • Parent: Um..well…yes…I suppose they are.
