Street Seen: 1988 Street Seen: 1988
"Inspired by an incident in London when I was getting rather annoyed at being stuck in traffic. A gentleman came 'twiddling' down the road on a tricycle with his little dog on a trailer behind. It made my day and I started the drawings as soon as I got home."

Hand operated in a glass fronted wooden case. 18" X 23" X 12" .

When operated the gentleman cycles and moves his head from side to side. The dog wags his tail and his tongue moves. All driven by a rolling road, with a moving traffic scene as background.
