Earlier this year in Shrewsbury, a small village in the western England country, a nine-year-old boy named Joe Whale had a problem with his school. Joe had caught flack for doodling in class, and the school’s limited art courses weren’t much practice. His creativity didn’t have a surface to explore.

Soon after, thanks to a sociable art teacher, an agreeable restaurant, and a talented young artist, a new wimmelbilder style art exhibit went on display in town.
