Welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, well. To what do I owe the extreme pleasure of this surprising visit?
– from Anthony Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange
During my senior year at Parsons School of Design, I began work on creating an illustrated version of A Clockwork Orange. What began as a photographic experiment of a 3 foot marionette with sculpted interchangeable heads expanded into an ongoing series of miniature paintings. Presented here is a sampling of the work created.
For Alex, I wanted to illustrate the thoughts going through his mind as he prowls inside the home of the lady with the numerous pet cats.
