Los viajes más increíbles: Maravillas de la navegación animal - David Barrie (2022)
Todos nos hemos maravillado alguna vez viendo bandadas de pájaros que vuelan ejecutando lo que parece ser una danza, u observando cómo las cigüeñas anidan cada año en los mismos lugares.

Portobello Giving Project
I've taken on a number of commissions over the past few months but unfortunately they haven't made it to the blog given the big move and the impending arrival!
David Barrie (who was involved with The People's Supermarket) asked me to help with a proposal for the Portobello Giving Project, which is a social venture in which donors who live in an urban area donate money to and share skills with local enterprise. Read more about Community Capitalism.
The book of illustrations was then filmed and a video created by Linus Kraemer.
JM Barrie might of loosely based his characters off of the brothers, but the character Peter Pan is HIS brother. His brother David, died as a young boy; and to console his mother, James wrote a story of a young boy who stays young forever. Peter Pan is David Barrie, and I get very uncomfortable when people claim otherwise.
