Takto vyzerajú zvieratá v detskom svete

Už je to takmer päť rokov, čo si Tom Curtis, otecko dvoch detí, vymyslel veľmi zaujímavý projekt. Dlhší čas pozoroval, ako si jeho deti – Dom a Al – kreslia, a všimol si to, čo by sme si na detských kresbách všimli asi všetci. Že vôbec nevyzerajú ako skutočnosť. Hoci sa jeho ratolesti snažili stvárniť reálne objekty, zvieratá či osobnosti, vo výsledku by ste ich asi nespoznali.

Preto sa nám to Tom rozhodol trochu uľahčiť. Kresby svojich detí pretavil do reality – tak veľmi, ako to len bolo možné – a ukázal nám tým, ako by tento svet vyzeral, keby ho celý navrhovali decká. Najprv pracoval len s výtvormi svojich detí, dnes už prijíma aj tie od verných fanúšikov.

Tých má na sociálnych sieťach ako maku. Za roky sa ich nazbieralo už viac ako pol milióna a práve oni ho inšpirovali vydať zbierku týchto čudesných stvorení aj knižne. My už sme niekoľkokrát o jeho tvorbe písali, naposledy však dva roky dozadu. A keďže odvtedy sa jeho portfólio značne rozrástlo, prinášame vám jeho diela opäť.

Alistair literally draws anything. He’s not even scared of this scorpion’s sting! ___ Hi everyone. This is an old one from our book Things I Have Drawn at the Zoo. Hope everyone is keeping safe and our pics continue to make you smile through these difficult times. We’ll be back soon with more. #thingsihavedrawn #thingsihavedrawnatthezoo #scorpion

There’s nothing here that should cause you alarm. It’s just an orangutan with a floating arm. ___ Hi everyone. So this is another pic from our book ’Things I Have Drawn at the Zoo’. Our little friend, Amy, was telling us how her teacher was reading the book out to her class recently, but couldn’t finish it because she was laughing so much. I can’t guarantee everyone will find it that funny, but hopefully you’ll like it if you buy it. It’s a story (kind of) suitable for kids and for adults: bit.ly/thingsihavedrawn

We just saw this woodpecker up in a tree (It's looking pretty normal to me.) ___ Hi everyone. Today we’ve been doing the #BigGardenBirdWatch for @rspb_love_nature. I’ll be honest – this isn’t really the woodpecker we saw. The one we saw had two legs. And looked like a sparrow. Actually, I think it was a sparrow.

I know you might think that I’m probably bluffing. Well I’m not, because this is most certainly a puffin. ___ Hi everyone. Tom here. I often get comments from people on Insta asking what I’ll do when Dom and Al get too good at drawing. Well, here’s the answer. Everyone’s good at drawing! This is a brilliant puffin by Byron, who lives in our village. ___ #thingsihavedrawn #puffin #kidsdrawings
