This fantastic illustration was created by student Fiona Levings. Maggy Roberts sent this over to the office along with Fiona’s comments about her Illustration. This has made us all laugh and we are thrilled to be able to share it with our readers. We are quite sure Fiona must have received top marks!
This particular image was inspired by a small, fluffy, large-eyed, baby-faced whirlwind of a garden-eating, roof-invading, pot-plant-smashing, fruit-stealing, window-breaking, sleep-destroying creature, otherwise known as a brushtail possum.
When one of these adorable fiends decides to make a home in your roof you can spend a lot of time (and sleepless nights) trying to help him out again … into just the right home, somewhere else, in a tree, where he belongs and from which he will hopefully NEVER, EVER ROAM AGAIN. You may detect some personal experience involved in the inspiration for this one.
