05/31/2006: "Fairy Tales in a new Medium - Fairy Tale Posters..." by Asbjorn Lonvig
The concept is quite simple.One language at a time.
One main fairy tale character.
The text of the fairy tale with illustrations.
That's it.
The Fairy Tale Poster lives side by side with the internet version
of the written fairy tale, which can be downloaded in a Word document and
form a tiny children's book.
I'll show you 5 samples of Fairy Tale Posters:
Tall Charlie is the name in English of the yellow giraffe.Céline Maeder, Paris has done the translation into French.
Céline Maeder has made new French names to all my fairy tale characters.
Tall Charlie is called Sophie Moyenne.
Sophie Moyenne is a fairy tale character in "Au zoo avec Sam et Lucca",
"In the Zoo with Sam and Lucca".

The fairy tale "Happy Traffic" is about children's safety in traffic.This Fairy Tale Poster is in English.
A baby is the main character.
He is on 12 traffic signs in 12 different languages.
The traffic signs have the text "HI - Drive Carefully".
The traffic sign in Danish "Hej - Kør Forsigtigt" has been tested
in 3 cities on more than 20 streets.
People have told me that they work according to the intention.
I write the fairy tales in English. My English is checked by Ann Watson, Florida and others.

The Hebrew translation is done by Yochanan Dvir, who lives in the kibbutz Lehavot Habashan in Northern Israel near the Lebanese border.

LATE POST SCRIPT
To Markus and all the staff at wwar/Absolutearts: I want to send my CONGRATULATIONS on the new ART BLOG feature enabling every artist to write his own blog AND to be announced in "Recent Art Blog Additions".
As WWAR/Absolutearts probably is a Google Source, we might soon see some of the blog news appear in Google News.
