...And also for functional

I'm not particularly exercised about anything at the moment...I just like the idea of huff as a kind of vehicle, The drawing of the huff is based on something in a book of old engravings, an inexplicable but clearly decorative object. I left off the draperies in the original to make it more functional.

After much inner debate, I decided to make a little handmade alphabet book, tentatively titled "Mental Metereology", which Bryan of the valentine below is going to help me with binding. I will be rolling out the letters here as inspiration comes, O is already taken care of in the obsession post.

Illustration Friday's prompt is "similar", so I thought of the Mad Hatter's riddle "Why is a raven like a writing desk?", a riddle with no answer. It occurred to me that Poe could have been inspired to write his famous poem by the impenetrability of this conundrum - unfortunately for that theory, his poem was published decades before Carroll's book. It had been my intention to draw this with no digital enhancements, however due to poor planning I left out the bottle of ink with quill pen, so that has been applied afterwards.In the planning stage: Edgar Allen poe surfing. With the raven, of course.
