In the last few months a friend of mine, Danny Popovici has been painting illustrations for a children's book using oil paints. The book itself is called "World on a String" and is a fantastic book about a child and his best friend, a big red balloon. The book's core message is designed to help children deal with and come to terms with lose when the young boy loses his balloon, when it is taken away by a strong breeze.
Anyway, the illustrations are beautifully done and they are doing a kickstarter that has 14 days left; so please check out their kickstarter and help them out.
