The Baptism of Peregrine Forbes
Friday August 3rd
It happened again tonight. The old fool had left the door unlocked; and there, above the cages, some apparently empty and some housing pink-eyed rodents; stood the vessel containing the precious green liquid and marked with the words: “NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION” once more, at my disposal. Thanks to yesterday’s acquisition of a rather splendid pocketwatch, I have been able to establish that administration of about 2floz of the serum is sufficient to remain effective for approximately two hours.
I have thus resolved that, weather permitting, tomorrow’s edification will begin with the short trip into town whereupon I will partake in what will no doubt be another fruitful bout of “shopping”, after which with any luck, there will be ample time for a spot of inexpensive dining followed by a close inspection of the ample figures belonging to those delightful ladies up there at Pedlar’s Lane bathhouse, whom I understand,usually prefer to keep themselves hidden away from prying eyes.
Dash it… Awfully sorry ladies!

is that the original invisible man?
edwardfish replied
Hi john, im guessing you mean is it an extract from the book? If so, no..obviously the character and general theme are lifted from Wells’ novel but its a really a conjured up amalgamation of what I can remember from watching the Claude Rains films as a kid, and what I imagine might happen if such a potion was to actually fall into the hands of that same kid..if that makes any sense?
Ravenor

Thanks to everyone for all the comments. They are a real buzz. Sorry Ive taken so long to respond, but Ive been very busy working and planning the next one. I recently joined the Digital Interface group which, with every image submitted, requires a little info on how it was made.. so at some point, hopefully in the near future there will be a journal entry to accompany this piece, should anyone be interested in how it came to be..
JohnScott
yes, I wasn’t too knowledgeable on Rains himself but googled it. The imagination is a powerful tool especially when amplified from a childhood memory as imprints are formed in early years. This image evokes and invokes a lot of things in me. Masks, invisible but powerful people, the list goes on.
Basia McAuley
Brilliant piece of art.
kcranmer

Cleburnus
Does the written work come with a card if I buy? I really like this one.
edwardfish replied
Hi cleburnus, This image is one of what will eventually be a series of ten.When the series is complete, I intend to make them all available as prints alongside with their accompanying texts, which for me are an integral part of the work. As for ordering through bubble,I am unsure of how flexible they are able to be in terms of printed formats. You may wish to contact the sales team to enquire. Ofcourse,alternatively should you decide on a standard format,you have my permission to copy the text from the page and print it as you please.
Cleburnus
Well let me know when you finish your project. I’ll be one of your first customers.
erinmagoc
it excites me to hear a story with the artwork. nice
John O'Dal
Ditto all the above.
SusanSanford
Dr. Finnegan and Mr. Hyde. Very amusing – At the risk of stating the obvious, you could print the text alongside in a horizontal format.
