Working idea for children's book/show concept

I have been working on a story with a main character, setting and plot. Its all concept rough sketches and ideas as of now.
Main character is a boy who is a care taker of the animals in a zoo setting. The concept is within an educational theme and the interaction of the boy with the animals. The intent is for the boy to have different situations/scenarios with the animals and a teaching aspect.

I am working on the setting, animals, developing a story, protagonist and villain. The idea is to put together a solid well thought out pitch/media kit for promotional use. Mostly publishers and/or television possibly.

More to come soon.

Cut to the Drummer site

Lars Ulrich is the founding member of the infamous Metallica, along with spokesperson and songwriter for this rock band. He inspires me because of his talent, leadership qualities and strong personality. The essence of the drummer is captured by the exaggerated characterization and use of colour. Ulrich’s Personality is best depicted in the portrait, focusing on the eyes and his loud expression. Key elements of the instrument are apparent within the composition and ultimately a part of the drummer.
