Mitch

My eldest nephew, Mitch (pictured in the first photograph and then again with his brother Nils on the left), has a very special gift. He knows literally every dinosaur by its Latin name, and all specifics about each of them. He draws the animals all the time and he must have hundreds, maybe thousands of drawings of these dinos. When asked, he refused to give me one and so I asked him to draw a couple in my diary, which he did.
When you look carefully, you will always see the little eye in the head. Also he draws them almost with one stroke; he almost never takes his pencil off the paper.
