Phantom Maggots On Fleet Street
For a challenge in the group Fine Arts Influenced by Literature. The book this time is “Island” by Aldous Huxley. I chose the part where Will, one of the main characters, is talking about a period in his life, several years earlier, where he sees people as Maggots, calling them Phantom Maggots. The book was written in 1961, or 62, & as Will saw the Phantom Maggots before his marriage of 12 years, i went by the year 1955. Used an actual photo of a 1955 London double decker bus, changing some so as not to steal, hand drawn, 2B pencil, the Toucan is hand drawn, Prisma colored pencils
