Failsworths


I can't decide which version to use. Partly inspired by my visit to the British Museum today where I saw a tiny mummified fish.
Pen and ink with watercolour. Each one 21cm x 15cm. Click to enlarge.

My preference is for the top version. I like the construction and the extra mummy on top - duck-billed platypus?

It's good to see the sketches.

I like the bottom one with just the fish mummy, and for some reason I like the green cloth and upside down torches.

Both are equally poignant.

You've clearly divided opinion...
Steve must be a liberal.

Personally I'd go for the top one...more reassuring. The bottom one feels more precarious and takes me out of my comfort zone...
