One of the great things at Floriade this year is an artist called Rudolph. He specializes in things called carry-car-chewers (I think that's the name). These are drawings of people that are very different from normal portraits. Carry-car-chewers are drawings that exaggerate the features of a person to make a funny but very recognizable image. Evidently Mum is best recognized by her blue eyes, big grin and teeth, while Dad is all chins, glasses and wing-mirror ears. You can check out how good a recognition aid these carry-car-chewers are by comparing them with any of the pictures of the Oldies in previous posts. If you would like Rudolph to do one for you, you may find him at a festival somewhere near you, or you can email him a photo to work from. His website is http://www.rhumal.com
