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?
Currently working at two book projects! Hope they will both see the light by the end of 2019. This sketch is for the illustration of a poetry and travel memories collection by Italian poet Lidia Masci. Inspiring and challenging project. - The mermaid The sand smelled warm, she vanished at every caress of the wind. (Lidia Masci)
Poor little guy, he looks so lonely!
