Fantastic

No, I'm not being a cocky mother-luvva. It's the Fantastic Mr Fox.

I'm really interested in Wes Anderson's new adaption of Roald Dahl's classic kiddie pleaser so I started thinking how I'd illustrate it on a long boring train journey.

I've wanted to draw anthropomorphic animals for a little while and saw Mr Fox as the perfect excuse.

This here is a very quick (1 or 2mins) ink doodle on the back of my coffee ring stained phone bill. I must pay that... I always saw Mr Fox as a quintessentially English eccentric and thought he must wear odd tweeds [link] and Debenhams [link] scarves.

I used this photo as Fox ref >>> [link]

I must stress though, that this isn't a 'fan art' for the movie or the book.

This is part of my plan to weedle myself into a Roald Dahl collaboration book coming up some time next year by Puffin or Bloomsbury or one of them... Mwa-ha-ha-ha-haaaa
