Illustration Friday: Pale

pale.jpg

A quick sketch in the Moleskine based on one of the tales in Gulliver's Travels. By the laws of the kingdom, Gulliver must be searched by the King's officers of Lilliput. In order to do this, he took up the pale and terrified officers in his hands, put them into his coat pockets. After conducting an exact inventory of what was found about the body of the man-mountain, the officers agreed that they were soon put out of fear as Gulliver managed them with great civility.
