a boy and his friend

March 3, 2015 Beidi Guo

I went to visit one of my friend in north London last weekend, the weather was lovely so we decided to take a walk around the town center.

As we walked past a bookshop around the corner, I suddenly saw something extraordinary. Inside the book shop by the display window , side by side stood a little boy and his friend, a little wolf! They were reading a picture book together, the little wolf was constantly pointing at the page and talking to the boy, seems quite exciting about the content.

I was shocked and thought "OMG, this can't be real!" but just few seconds later I realized the little wolf was another little kid wearing a wolf hat. Because he was putting his head down, so from my perspective all I can see was a standing living little wolf.

I have to admit that I was a little bit disappointed when I found out about my illusion ,but this adorable scene still made my day. I decide to draw an illustration about it. It was indeed a magical moment in our boring adult life, which reminds me all the dreams and fantasies I had when I was a kid, finally it came true, I am more than blessed to witness it, even it just last for a few second.

Childhood Neighbour

January 23, 2015 Beidi Guo

Back in the old days, I remember there was a boy lived across our old house when I was very young. He was about 17,18 by then, a restless, easy going teenage boy. I can see part of his room from our living room window. He sometimes talk to me while I was playing in the garden outside and most of time he would be asking me if my cousin was home. My cousin was a good looking teenage girl by then, 16 or something like that.I remember they chatted a lot , one by the window looking down while the other stand in the garden looking up.

The boy and his parents were always fighting, because of that our parents told us not to hang around with him much as he was a troubled boy at school. Very occasionally, the night of their house was quite and peaceful ,I would caught him sat by the window and read till late.

Truth to be told, I had never thought him as a bad boy or bad kid ,I think he just fine, maybe he gets lonely sometime as no one understood him in the world ,just like most of us feels sometimes. He must be almost 40 by now if my calculation is right, he'd already became somebody's husband or dad. I wonder where he is now and whether he still remember my cousin or me, maybe not me, maybe not even my cousin.

So I did an illustration of my childhood memory about him.
