And, as it’s already the norm, the inspiration behind this month’s illustration:

March, Colorful giants. Portuguese carnival and its “Gigantones”, dolls with 3 to 4 m in height used during these festivities. Note that they never come alone, usually in pairs or followed by a group of not so tall giants “cabeçudos” dancing full of joy.
