yesterday night, in a moment of relax from my job, I was thinking about an image to sketch for this week's Illustration Friday topic "Wild". I took my colored pencils and in a few minute a sort of sad blue yeti, sitting on a red chair, came to life on my piece of paper. It was not enough. Still the image lacked something... so I decided to put the poor tamed creature in chains and close it in a bottle, just like student Anselmus in E.T.A. Hoffmann's short story "Der Goldene Topf". Don't you feel a little bit of sympathy for this formerly wild strange elf?
