Masterpiece Poster

Kate Markland

Gabriel and I recently decided to make something special for his bedroom—a poster that would bring together some of our favourite drawings into one big, colourful masterpiece. It quickly became a project filled with memories, creativity, and a lot of laughter.

A Collection of Adventures

Over the past few months, we’ve spent made countless drawing together, and our poster idea was the perfect way to celebrate those creative moments. We started by going through our stack of drawings, sorting through sea animals, whirlpools, pirates, and dinosaurs—Gabriel’s favourite themes. Each piece held its own story, from swirling waves we sketched during a sailing holiday to towering dinosaurs inspired by cartoons and books.

Assembling the Poster

With scissors and glue in hand, we got to work. We carefully trimmed each drawing, arranging them like puzzle pieces to fit together perfectly. It was a wild and imaginative mix, but that was what made it so uniquely Gabriel.

To add an extra layer of fun, we drew connecting details and added stickers to give the poster even more character.

A Masterpiece for His Wall

Once the poster was complete, we stepped back to admire our work. It was vibrant, full of life, and a perfect reflection of Gabriel’s creativity and adventurous spirit. We put it proudly on his bedroom wall, where it now takes centre stage. Gabriel loves pointing out his favourite parts and recalling the stories behind each drawing.

This poster is more than just a decoration—it’s a snapshot of the many hours we’ve spent creating together, a celebration of imagination, and a reminder of all the fun we’ve had.

Every time Gabriel looks at it, I hope he feels proud of his creativity and inspired to dream up his next big adventure.
