Hamahakki or Eleanor and the spider
In a land far away
Many years ago
Lived the spider Hamahakki
Half buried, he lay
in the lone mountains, grimacing away
Lone as the mountain was the hamahakki who sat alone
Surrounded by bones that had turned to stone
But the hamahakki never stirred, his head never turned
Until the sun rose over the furze
Pale hands reachnig and touching his face
It was Eleanor, dark of face and strange
Lone she was as the mountain and lone as the hamahakki
Together they sat, feeling strange together
Until she turned to stone, they sat alone
Each waiting for the other.

Artists I love: no 2 and 3.
I really like these fellas: Marc Craste and Shaun Tan. I came across Marc's book today in the bookstore and was immediately taken with the illustrations in it. They're not really for children, but are in the children's books section. Needless to say, I wanted more.
Here's what I mean:
