Everything is possible in London's Spring, even if the weather is a little bit cold. The stress, tourists and pedestrians have to share the city now with the sheeps that came back to the capital for graze.
From the 28th of March until the 25th of May, London is being taken by 50 giant sculptures of Shaun the Sheep. The animated character, created by Nick Park, is the protagonist of the main public art trail, taking place this year, and all the statues are grazing in green parks and important landmarks.
Unfortunately, he came alone and his friends Bitzer, the Flock, the Farmer, the Naughty Pigs, Pidsley and Timmy and his mother couldn't walk with him.
Besides that, another 70 sculptures will be placed across Bristol from the 6th of July to the 31st of August. All of them, the 120 pieces, will be auctioned on the 8th of October. The money raised in London is going to be donated to Wallace & Gromit’s Children’s Charity and The Grand Appeal, the Bristol Children’s Hospital Charity, will receive the money obtained in Bristol.
The artwork coincides with the release of Aardman’s Shaun the Sheep the Movie and the Chinese Year of the Sheep. Don't miss it because it is a "ewe-nique" occasion.
A friend of mine is looking for these today with her son! I do hope they see most of them x
