Will Self's eschewing of the wheel in favour of walking, plus the title bestowed upon him by some as a modern day Flâneur as characterised by Baudelaire; suggested to me a depiction of him as this strange hybrid of a painted caricature and a "wheeled" walking toy from the 19th century.
I figured if he were to have wheels, this would be the only way to go!
(But that's just how I see things, I apparently have an odd perspective!)
It was produced solely for this week's Illustration Friday topic of Wheels.

How cool! I have the urge to spin his legs...freaky people make beautiful things....

Very nice illustration! It speaks so much, about so much!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Rebecca, comments like yours keep me motivated to be an illustrator.
ReplyDeleteWith a wheel like this you can not stop! Wonderful idea you had, love this illustration!
ReplyDeleteGreat illustration, Mark. An odd perspective is definitely GOOD - in my book, anyway. Not that that means much!!!!
