Mother Goose and the Self Fulfilling Prophecy







"The wizard Brian Benderstein Snr on a wild goose chase"


Just did this for fun tonight before going out for dinner. I think I'm going to be late!
 In this one I'm working up 'self fulfilling prophecy." Brian Snr has been sitting in the drawer for a month waiting for his chance.

Thanks for looking.
PS it's only a pretend book!

    Ok, I´ll play along. Why don´t you make the rest of the illustrations to this pretend-book. Take them to a pretend-publisher, and before you know it, it might end up being a printed and published pretend-book!!!

    Hi Andy, I think Mr Brian should give Mother Goose, a "big hug" to avoid falling. I would say we should all give a "big hug" to avoid falling.

    (You know this Lakhsmita Indira? ... For me her name sounds like Mata Hari, She will not be a spy who wants to enter the club?)
    Let us be careful
    A big hug.

    ahhh, yes, this is cool, you should do them all! You've already made a good start at it.
    oh, and I always make myself late because I have just one more thing I need to do to a piece before I can quit and leave!
