Illustration for poems of Romhányi József: Szamárfül
The layout and paintings: mixed technique (pen, watercolor, digital editing), 2011
József Romhányi (1921-1983) was a Hungarian writer, poet and translator. He is known for his animal poems that were released after his death with the title Szamárfül (Earmark and Ear of a Donkey). The stories about a superstitious black cat, a lion who was good at math and could divided by four his circus master, or some unique variation of an Aesopus story of The Fox and The Crow. These poems are grotesque and funny untranslatable puns.
