Winnie-the-Pooh

This cover was a bit intimidating, since the Winnie-the-Pooh characters are such icons. I attempted to interpret them in my own way, but without being too different-for-the-sake-of-being-different. In rereading the book, I found the characters much more vivid and sharp than I remembered them. Eeyore, in particular, is very bitter and self-absorbed. And for some reason, Pooh's voice (in my head as I read) began to sound like Orson Welles. I also discovered, while creating this image, that I share a birthday with the original Winnie-the-Pooh illustrator, Ernest Shepard.

Illustration Friday: Wedding

It's been way too long since I've posted anything for IF. Here are the Owl and the Pussycat, on their way to be married by the Turkey who lives on the hill.
