I must admit I went with my heart on this one. To make this work I drew frames on 19" X 24" poster board. Then I drew and painted those backgrounds in watercolor, tempera and acrylic paint. I also drew characters, buildings and animals on plain copy paper. I colored those images in pencils and oil pastels before cutting them out. The next step was to glue the pieces of paper unto the poster boards. Then I painted those pieces of paper in acrylic paint. I didn't think about the size, the complexity or the scope of what I was doing. I simply followed my heart. Every day for six years I put work into this. I took very few breaks or holidays. I was a man on a mission. When I was finished I had pasted 3,830 pieces of paper into 1,561 individual frames on 334 poster boards. The combined size of this work is 34x26.7 feet (10.3x8.14 meters). I know in my heart that this hasn't been done. And if so, definitely not by one human. Now it is time to submit this project to Guinness again and get the record I have long-deserved. I will need everyone's help I can get in doing this.
