Lockdown artist.

 Hello welcome back to my blog.

Lockdown was hard for most of us but one thing that kept many going was Henry Sunderland who made a lockdown comic every day of lockdown even making specials for certain days like mothers day and Anzac day. In my class one thing we did was we were given some of his drawings and had to colour them in. People were chosen to show our work to Henry Sunderland in person and win a prize. I was one of these people, but before we did that we first had to do a doc about him and write some fun facts then post it to our blogs. Here is my work.

the facts about him

1. He used to be a gnome artist and in 1977 he took the first gnome to the south pole 

2. He did art in stained glass for a little bit
