Quetzalcoatl (The Plumed Serpent) Brings the Joy of Koko to the World
In this colour pencil and ink illustration, Quetzalcoatl (The Plumed Serpent and god of chocolate) is depicted emerging from the first ripe cacao bean. As he emerges, cacao seedlings and flowers flourish. Midges descend from the sky to pollinate the flowers. In the background, chocolate temples have risen.
(I entered this illustration in the Koko Black Creative Drawing Competition 2009. The brief was to illustrate what is inside the magic egg).
