On Look Out

On Look Out 2010

Watercolour on Paper

There are many drawings of rabbits on my blog mainly because i had an obsession with drawing and researching them in my art foundation year at Byam Shaw after watching and reading Richard Adam's Watership Down. I'd remembered seeing the film when i was really small and it terrified me especially towards the ending.    I  came across the film again last year and had to buy it.   Then soon after wards I brought the book, which gives more of an insight of the storyline, the characters etc including the rabbit's own fairy hood tales and stories of El-ahrairah. My favorite short story was El-arhrairah and the Black Rabbit.  The drawing could be the great prince himself on lookout when stealing the kings lettuces.
