Hello !
The day has arrived, where this series is over ;-) I thought, now that the exitement is relieved, I didnt find it worth sending another upload in the series. That is why I post both of the last images today.
But dont cry ;-) Il post another little funny story in a couble of days in only 1 upload.
I hope you have enjoyed this little fairytale, which tought the little zebra not to trust anybody he meets. HAHAHA! Evil Helle :)

Have a wonderful New Years evening and may your 2009 be your best year ever.

For people who use translater, I better put the las part of the story inthis place too: ------------------ Now Zoren was getting really tired and hungry and so very sad. He now thought about getting home along the road he found, but then he heard a whistle. He stopped and looked around and there, on a wooden stumb was sitting a man eating his lunch. WOW! Zoren had never been near a man before. Zoren thought, I dont care, I will try and ask him for help. He walked slowly to the man and said: "Dear mister Human. I am Zoren the Zebra" The man said: "What! A zebra? Well, you dont look like zebra" "That is my problem, mister Human. Could you please help be getting stripes?" And the man said: "Look at the road. Do you see all the beautiful stripes there. I made them. I am the one who paint all the stripes on the road and I am good at it. When I can paint stripes on the road, I can paint them on you as well." And then he painted the most beautiful stripes on little Zorens body and legs and even on his face. When he finnished, Zoren looked like the most beautiful little Zebra in the whole area. "Oh thank you mister Human" he shouted of pure delight, I am so happy. Now I will not be seen, when I hide between the trees anymore." And the little zebra ran all the way home to his family and friends and he lived happily ever after. The end
Thank you for the cute little story - sure love your beautiful paintings ;o)))))))))))))
which proves there are nice people too :-) fine sory and illustrations, helle.
Oh...my day is saved!! Zoren got his stripes and I got the happy end of the story. You really have a talent for this helle!!! More...
I loved your story Helle, and I look forward to more stories and illustrations from you. Thanks for sharing that with us. It was a delight.
Som min mor altid sagde..."Slut prut finale" hihihi Tusind tak for skøn historie "læsning" Helle, jeg glæder mig til den næste ;o))
Beautiful story and fantastic images. I admire your creativity. Happy New Year to you and yours too :)))
lovely...... thank you for sharing
superb story and illustrations..... thanks for sharing.
Super great story. And very cute pictures to tell this story whith.
Excellent!!!! thankou!
I loved your story, particularly that it was a painer who saved the day! :) You know, there just aren't enough stories out there where artists are the heros of the tale. This was delightful! Between your wonderful story and those GORGEOUS illustrations, this should be a published children's book. It's absolutely charming!
A wonderful end to a wonderful story with excellent illustrations - I thought that may be Zoren was a horse and not a Zebra - like the Ugly Duckling - LOL - The very best wishes for 2009 - look forward to all the new art that we'll see here!
I'm glad this has such a nice, happy ending! And that the human helped! Happy New Year & thank you for the great story!
A delighful series, and ending! :) Happy New Years Helle!
Helle it is almost sad that it is ending as this was such a cute series and you did such a wonderful job on it. Still I'm glad to see Zoren get those stripes :) Have a Happy New Year
A wonderful ending to a delightful series, YAAAY for Zoren!! All the best for the New Year Helle.
just lovely Helle! That cartoon man is a riot, and I love that huge paint-brush. And you really broke the zebra into all kinds of etched surfaces. Love the 'etched'-looking trees, and the floral detail is again quite vibrant. In the bottom image, it's rolling & gentle like some of your photographs, and the flowers are painted with real delicacy (as is your sky and the rolling landscape). It's a beautiful series and another fav, and I hope you do more like it. (Maybe it'll take your mind off some of that awful sciatica!) Beautiful series, truly.
What a sad but true message this little Zoren learnt. I am glad he got his stripes though and he will feel normal too. A very well done series, you could make it into a book. A beautifully created series.
What a sweet, wonderful tale you've created here. Your artwork is so rich and full of like--just beautiful!!
what a beautiful series happy new year
Such a charming story. You did wonderfully with the scenes too :)
Absolutely stunning end. Of course I imagined a happy end (I always prefer that, even for comics), but I did not imagined that! Great, great great Helle! Fabulous tale served with pure charming artwork!
