I produced this illustration for Ben Harris' Tube Truth series:

Elephant and Castle

Named after Richard Elephant and Diane Castle, a famous double act who combined magic and dance in the early 19th century. Having met on the thriving East London salsa dancing circuit, Elephant and Castle danced semi-professionally for almost a year. However after an unfulfilling period of narrowly missing out on prizes, Diane suggested that what the partnership needed was "A little bit of magic." Although no one could have envisaged how literal she was being. Soon after they were wowing Europe's aristocracy with "The Three Cups and Balls Waltz" and "The Saw the Lady in Half Bolero." Both drowned on the Titanic.



This work was produced for Ben Harris in 2009
