drawing the OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT. this is partly in response to a scurrilous Manga cartoon by Toshiko Hasumi that was used to criticise refugees from Syria and specifically a 6 year old girl called Judi photographed by Jonathan Hyams for "Save the Children". The image is therefore a MASCOT for refugees and is a way to correct the damage done by Hasumi. At the end, the japanese text on my image reads: "You don't have to be cute to need help" and "they did not choose to be victims of war, of prejudice, of abuse" Judi made no choice: she is a 6 year old girl who needs our help. We must respond to people in need. It is our moral duty. Illustrations TIM WILSON ©2015 Zontul Films Ltd Music David Watson for Kanon editions ©2015 Recorded at Shonk studio Oxford
