This kind of wit and humour never ceases to amaze me. It's so clever, I can't imagine how he managed to do one every week for 15 years - that's dedication.
He's made other series, the most recent being a weekly one called 'Bright Ideas' for the 'The Times' which ran from 2009-2010.
His reinterpretation of 'The Wizard of Oz' is probably my favorite work of his. It won the 2009 Book of the Year and best Illustrated Trade Book at the British Biok Design Awards As if the story isn't weird enough, Rawle's collages are super strange. He made every character and set which again showcases his dedication to his work. I watched the trailer for the book itself and it's style resembles that of what I would probably relate to the 70s (only because the Lion looks like a stuffed you my mum had growing up as a child in the 70s) and it's a really innovative way of working.
I think, going through a lengthy process of making a set and characters etc, in order to photograph it and put it into a book is admirable. It takes a lot of hard work and patience, sonething which I think I need to work on personally. Going through different processes in order to have an outstanding outcome is obviously worth the time.
