Collaboration - with my sons

My boys have really gotten the arty bug, I cant really claim much credit since mum is a poet, Uncle is a poet and aspiring artist and grandad was an artisan engraver.

They both come up with weird and wonderful monsters and animals, sometimes after seeing what I am creating, sometimes I have a look at what they are doing and, truth be told, borrow some of their ideas!

John has written a very short three part tale about a lonely Turtle which I am hoping to illustrate in the coming weeks, Johns words and my illustration, it seems right to proceed but am anxious that it keep Johns unencumbered vision and wont be overly complicated or too simplistic.
