#94 of 100 Elephants: Lamp

This was another creative breakthrough. I was stuck. Was almost done. With all the elephants that had come before and all my thinking I came to this solution. I love the simplicity of the idea. Now it seems rather obvious.

I just realized he has no bow tie.

A work in progress

Here is the rough and final drawing the Willy Wonka poster. Throughout the process I simplified the illustration. The production of Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka will be at the Vermont Children's Theater on July 21,22,23 at 7p 28,29, and 30 at 2 and 7.

In preparation for the the project, I read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for the first time. It is a wonderful book. I wish it hadn't taken me so long to get to.

I went more conceptual with this. It is something mew for me. And a special note, to prove a point,  there is no bow tie in this illustration.
