King by pesare

"Kuningas"

He remembered
how big the houses used to be
when he was a child.
And the trees so tall
only the bravest in his class
dared to climb them.

All of that had changed.
He was a king now.

The king probably ate a few trolls.

I agree with the whole selling pictures for storybooks.

Have you thought about illustrating kids books? Or, do you illustrate kids books?

For some reason the first word that comes to mind when I look to that work is "poetic". And that was eve before I read the comment

It is so strange when you realize everything's changed - you, people around, the world... And especially the process of growing up is like the world is loosing it's magic

So it is really good not to forget about that child we used to be

pesare Featured By Owner Dec 15, 2008 Professional

Yes. But the world never looses it's magic - people do.
We think we know everything just because we grew up to be a king... But
there's a lot going on inside those little houses that the king can never see.

TheElfQueen Featured By Owner Dec 15, 2008

My thoughts exactly! That's what this reminds me of - growing older and looking around to find that the world isn't quite as magical and mystical as you once supposed it was.
But yes, we should always remember what childhood was like!
