'Stubs at the Beauty Contest' by Sam Halliwell

'Stubs' is a seriously misunderstood and dangerous character. He developed quite naturally through giving a found object, (a broken toy horse) a name, character and background. Once Sam discovered that there were other Stubb's horses the story grew. I like the juxtapostion of photographic background and the crudely drawn Stubs against George Stubb's beautifully painted horses but I feel that there is a lack of action movement in the fight scene that might leave the viewer confused at the ending. The story however is wonderfully bonkers and as before I'm (a little) older than Sam's target audience of 16 year olds so my opinion may go completely against the grain of the public view. Please leave your comments here and help Sam keep improving her work and her working process...
