This must be one of my favourite stories of all time. And it's Ben's. Lucky for him they're doing it in Drama at school at the moment. He had to design a poster and he was pleased as pie with it when it was finished. Have to admit I was extremely proud of him, so I asked him if I could share it with the world here:
Here's the whole picture:
Here's the boat complete with a sausage sandwich in detail:
And here's the hammock complete with coconuts, a skull and some odd foot prints in the sand:
I only helped him a teeny weeny bit with the shading.
