No hands !
She touched his chest and whispered; ‘Mr Make - I believe in you...’
Well Mr Make’s skin began to
TREMBLE
with goose bumps...
He wobbled with nervous
JITTERS
... started to sweat...
... felt strange
THUMPS...
As his heart into a
BEAT!

EPILOGUE
Mr Make, stood back from his picture...
of which he had dared to come to life...
He realised it was time to abandon this story ...
and move on to the next thing...
This is the artist’s strife!
Richard Graham lives and works in London, making character assemblages out of every day objects; pencil bumble bees and domino browed typewriters, to caterpillars from old pianos and birds with scissor beaks.

THE EN D.
‘Mr Make’ uses his head and hands to craft fantastic things, but we quickly find out he is living an empty and heartless life. It is only when he meets a lady in a cafe that he decides to make the most challenging thing he has ever made ... This illustrated story is a meditation on our relationship to craft and the spirit of creativity, using a blend of object sculpture, writing and illustration to show one man’s journey on becoming an artist.
