Postcard from the Mountains with the Mountains Tippexed Out - Richard Dinnis

"This book is about the little things that interest or amuse me. It looks at -- amongst other things -- gated communities, naval history, failure, contemporary business practice and trees. It is an attempt to explore, through drawing, the complexities of meaning that cloud and confuse even the smallest and simplest of things. It is also an attempt to present the world as I see it. An idiosyncratic world where observed physical realities mix with language, thought and humour. A world that is strange, tragic and infinitely complex and where beauty and humour lurk in unexpected places. A world in which weathermen plan to lure tiny Herons down to guard and enjoy tiny spoon ponds and where Hugh Grant and I sit together drawing animals, but not speaking." -- Richard Dinnis
