A hybrid comic and seek-and-find book that contemplates art and
creativity
Van Dog rides to the countryside to paint a landscape one day. As he
mounts his easel, mixes his paints, and contemplates the scenery, the
landscape slowly unfolds in weird and wonderful ways: a snail nibbles on
a mushroom, ants gather to work, and a giant lizard monster sets off on
a journey to Tokyo. As the landscape becomes busier and busier, Van Dog
struggles to finish his painting--but is he overwhelmed by his subject,
or is the richness of the countryside precisely what inspires him?
