'New Zealand Odyssey', published in 1989 by Heinemann, was authored by me, Don Donovan (who did the text and illustrations) and Euan Sarginson, who did the photography and design. In this series of blog posts, I will publish some of my drawings.
When my father died he left behind a large cake tin (with the Queen's portrait on it) full of all the things he thought he should keep because they might come in useful one day.
The Hawera Handyman Barn reminded me of dad's tin on a grand scale. You could have built a house out of its offerings. I loved the clutter; very tempting for any artist of the unusual. That was 1987. I can't imagine what might have happened to that toilet seat.
