Woeful Badger
This illustration was a concept for a children's story called "Bertram Badger" by D.C. Carrol. It's about a wee Scottish badger who struggles to create a great poem for his grandfather's birthday and later becomes the Clan poet of his sett. He is seen here gathering snowdrops, carrying a book of poems , proudly wearing a tartan kilt.
