"I'm not interested in giving a didactic final meaning" to his works, says artist Jeremy Geddes (his website here) in an interview for Sprayblog. "I just want to spark questions in the viewer".

I simply love Kristiana Pärn's drawings. Her cute forest animal-characters make me think of children books and imagine all sorts of stories like the unlikely couple taking a stroll (lady badger with mister rabbit) or the little bear...
