Many happy returns (just in time...) to the Hungry Caterpillar (or may I call you "The Very"...) who is forty today. I had to mark the occasion. This is a favourite of mine and one of the earliest books and pieces of illustration I can remember from my childhood (many people must also share this memory) and I'm sure it partly responsible for what I'm doing now... so thank you Mr. Carle, may your scissors never blunt, and to the VHC may you never be completely sated.
Possibly a bit tenuous a link to illustration friday's 'subtract' topic (?)... but the caterpillar did subtract a lot of little bits out of all of those foods... hope you enjoy the tribute
Apologies to anyone who has been kind enough to keep popping by the blog but found it at a standstill. I've been really busy over the last few weeks on many other things but the blog should be back on track from here on in... ta muchly for your patience :)

On December 2008 I made a blogg, a sample derived from a single-deluganoalaluna did (faseone) -.
the idea of this was put together and implement a project of the diversity, the topic craft, shapes or elements for attaining the moon-deluganoalaluna (secondafase) - and also not the vision of each individual on the moon.
vision and expression. (pictures, sounds, text, photographs, stencil, shorts, etc)
the methodology I used to raise contributions is:
an entry in http://deluganoalaluna-up.blogspot.com gaddet along with a picture or sound it is linked to the participant's blogg http://sivamostodos.blogspot.com and here individually as input, linked to your course page or blogg
Of growing, fasetres would be a traveling exhibition, as traveling can be, in all material.
The dispatch of the work can do so via mail to deluganoalaluna@gmail.com, and if they want to invite others, all are welcome.
All of us, we made the ship
