  13. Beautiful illustration, you get my vote. I'm tempted to enter too - they obviously like my drawings because they've used one on their website! The cheeky monkeys.

  17. Yes, it's not very big - but they should have asked first. It's not the Norwegians at fault though - it's some design agency in London. They really ought to know better.
