While reading, researching and sketching for the CBIG Celebrates Dickens in Pictures project, my sketchbook filled with words and images. The sketchbook pages became a treasure of information for me to reread and then interpret using a variety of painting and drawing materials. Not wanting to lose momentum, I have begun another series of images based on my sketchbook pages.

I love a good villain. So when it came to choosing a subject for a Dickens-ian illustration for the CBIG Charles Dickens exhibit at the Yonkers Riverfront Gallery, how could I choose anyone but Madame Defarge from A TALE OF TWO CITES? The predecessor of evil queens and wicked stepmothers as far as I'm concerned. The Watchful Eye of Madame Defarge © Wallace West Images not necessarily in my official porfolio ( wallacewest.com ) can be found on my blog ( http://wallacewest.wordpress.com/ ).
