Tobias does quite some artwork for us. He calls them surprises… Most of the times it is a picture with some form of fighting going on. He draws super heroes, dragons, monsters, pirates, knights etc. It started out as some of these creatures doing something that needed explaining. So, the pictures would come with a story.
Soon, the picture not only came with a story, they included graphics to tell the story, like arrows and “shadow” pictures, or, in other words, the result of one of the arrows. For example: one pirate shoots the other, one arrow would indicate the bullet flying from one pirate to the other, the other arrow would indicate the other pirate falling in the water…. The other pirate would be captured on two pictures: one on the ship, one in the water.
In this picture you can see an example of that style of drawing in the top picture. You can see a boxing match. You can see the one who wins with four arms and some arrows indicating punches to the other. The other is depicted standing up and fighting and then of course lying down. As you can see some text goes with it stating the boxer lying down being KO.
So, after receiving one of these works of art, the top one to be exact, I suggested that maybe Tobias could depict the course of events in more than one picture, like the comic in a kids magazine that he subscribed to. Sure enough, that night I receive one of his surprises… the bottom part of the picture, depicting the same story in more than one picture… comic style
.I hope to receive many of these surprises in the future. I love them!
