Self Portrait?

Digging through my old books  I came across an old favourite. The Evolution and Ecology of the Dinosaurs. L B Halstead. 1975. Illustrated by Giovanni Caselli.

Buried within remains what must be the earliest artwork of that mine that exists. I have vague memories of drawing them and I know they were all drawn on separate occasions. The pencil figure in the top window is the earliest of them all, I have an impression that they both represent myself. So this is my first Self Portrait, from about the age of 4 or 5, I guess... 

 the next guy must be a Cave Man...

 I Hunt Big Chicken!

Posting this I remembered a funny story...

One day at First School, around six years old, we had to take a book in one day. On the day everyone had their books such as The Mr Men, Rupert the Bear, Peter & Jane, The Big Red Rock Eater... 

I had struggled to choose a book so had loaded four books into my bag. Two Encyclopedias on Animals and Two on Dinosaurs.

I learned a lesson that day when I had to struggle home from school with bag full of massive books.
