Just wanted to steer your attention to some of the truly stunning artwork of the rendition of Kenneth Grahame’s ‘Reluctant Dragon’ novel I grew up with, illustrated by Inga moore. Never fails to captivate me
Last year I drew a bunch of Disney rabbits together since it was the Year of the Rabbit and this year I decided to do the same thing but with Disney dragons for the Year of the Dragon.
Shakespeare, 'Henry V' / Kenneth Grahame, 'Dream Days' ; 'The Reluctant Dragon'/ Paolo Ucello, 'Saint George and the Dragon' / The National Gallery, London / Odilon Redon, 'Saint Georges et le dragon' / Elif Batuman, 'The Idiot' / Kenneth Grahame, 'Dream Days' ; 'The Reluctant Dragon'
A reflection on myth-making and the creation of Saint George through the guise of subjugation and heroism. - @nosherbetlemons
