Dear Gary,

Subject: i am currently illustrating 20000 leagues

dear forum


I have been a Jules Verne fan since the age of ten. Twenty three years
ago I started upon the biggest project of my life,trying to illustrate
in the victorian tradition of
etching, pen and ink or woodcut every page of 20000 leagues.I was not
sure I was up to the task and I still have my doubts his work is
masterful and has been slowly dissappearing from my library or nearest
waterstones for many years now. His book has been a passion of mine now
for nearly forty years. His text , full of science and aquatic marvels,
so precise and clear that many latin species or longitudes, places or
names are easy to find today. My own pictures are nothing compared to
his work, but when finished in just under three years time I hope to
bring out the dark brooding mystery that many people do not know about
just because they believe that 20000 leagues is no more than a story
about a giant squid attacking a ship.

some pictures have mistakes in them, I'm only human and pen and ink can
be a hard medium to work when tackling 300 other pictures
whilst staying focused on vernes text



here is the link to some of my artwork if you are interested, I am not a
commercial artist, I just seek other likeminded fans of his work

I hope you like them
