"My Island" Part Four

 Continuing that story written when I was seven and illustrated when I was eighteen...

 

The streams have bright pink water weeds

 

 

 

 and the fish dazzle your eyes with bright colours of the rainbow.

 

 

 The weather there is sunny all through Atumn and Winter and cold all through Spring and Summer.

 

 

 

 I call it The Isle of Surprises.

 

 That last image was definitely inspired by this.

"My Island" Part Three

 Continuing a story written when I was seven and illustrated when I was eighteen...

 

 As for the plants, they all turn into flying horses with silver hooves, a silver mane and a silver tail,

 

 

  and spend most of their time flying around the moon.

 

 

 

 When they land at sunrise they turn into plants again.

 

 

 

To be concluded...

"My Island" Part Two

Continuing a story written when I was seven and illustrated when I was eighteen...

 

   There is some danger on my Island. There are cannibals that eat anything in sight.

 

 

 

 They have at least four arms and go about saying Squeak.

 

 

 Strangely enough all the animals are tame

 

 

 and all the people are very savage.

"My Island" Part One

 These are what I finally put up on my wall. I painted them when I was eighteen, probably influenced by Michael Foreman and Tove Jansson (hence the absence of a mouth) to illustrate a story that I'd found in an old school magazine written when I was seven, probably nfluenced by Spike Milligan and, I don't know, pinball machines? It's called "My Island":

 

 My Island is very dusty

 

 and now and then you see winged lions with gold glossy manes and wings made of silk. 

 

They are very tame creatures. They are vagetarians.
