In August 2013, Mo Willems and his family left for an adventurous sabbatical year in Paris, France, where he allowed himself the freedom to experiment and have fun. After 12 months of visiting galleries, museums, and art supply stores, Mo drew and painted with abandon and without restraints. He has returned with a diverse group of experiments and observations, compiled below. Also included is a fine art poster from the exhibit.
