This week you get a double blasted poster from blood brothers @billyandalbie
The brown drawing comes fresh from Billy (aged 4)…
It’s a sea monster coming out of the sea [at the top] after eating all the sailors [dead pirates at the bottom] and the round circle in the middle is their boat…
and Albie (aged 2) straight edges it pure and simple with blue lines. He allows the viewer decide on the meaning.
