Artist book, junior division

Just came across this crayon artwork, created by Handsome Son, aged about eight.  He used to make a lot of artwork at home, just his own ideas, nothing to do with school.  And this is a form of book -- note the faux spine drawn down the back.

Better grasp of perspective than many adults I've taught, and good color balance, too.  All in all, a mom gives it a thumbs up!  Just thought you'd like to see it.   I had never talked with him about artist books, anything like that.  This is just what he fancied doing, and there's a narrative behind it which I don't know, since he also did long serial comics about various toys doing various adventures, and this is probably part of one of them.

Just a little tangent off the usual mad dash of this blog.
