Description
Interior double page spread done in watercolour for an educational puzzle book, first published by Big Fish in 2001. The great idea behind it (not mine unfortunately) was a theme park full of enlarged insects, gone awry. (Apologies for the poor image reproduction. It's all I have for the moment.)ISBN-10 0806983310
ISBN-13 978-0806983318

Thanks Adam. Yep - that was the idea. It was a puzzle book, with educational overtones to justify itself. I'll be testing you later.

I like the elephant too, PolygonWrangler. How could you not like a Dali-esque mechanical transport like that. Wish I could recall whether it was my idea or the very talented Andy Dixon came up with it. It was almost bound to be him though - his mind is full of cool stuff.

Thanks pyramidlagota. Did it ages ago, so don't remember exactly - it would have a couple of weeks at least though. I'm a slow coach.

Wow. This is great! But I really don't want to think about how much time this took. Yikes! Besides, I'm eating lunch right now and the two don't blend well.

Thanks Jeffrey - It's something I've managed to blank from my memory now too. But it was longer than 20 minutes I think, if that's any help.

The amount of details in this piece is just MINDBLOWING! I can't even begin to imagine how much time and effort you spent in this painting. The elephantine creature on the right is just so original and imaginative.
I am so glad I watched you

Thanks Robert. Can't recall exactly but it would have been weeks rather than days, the ponderous way I work.
