Somehow I've always pictured Arthur and Ford as looking like me and my best friend. I never realized it until I painted this scene. Its not nesessarily my favorite scene, but I really wanted to draw a Vogon.

Just a quick something.

From my favourite line in the book
"The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't"

I got to see Douglas Adams give a talk a number of years ago. Really a smart and funny guy (may he R.I.P.)!

For my entry, I decided to take the character of Marvin the Paranoid Android and reimagine him, putting the focus on the paranoia aspect. As such, we have a neurotic robot (complete with bow-tie attachment!) who can look in seven directions at once and hear a pin drop (or indeed a following footstep) from a good few miles away.

Unfortunately he can't see anything in this fog, and there's someone following him! Poor Marvin!

This is the longest I've ever spent on a Worth illo entry (I'm too embarassed to say how long) so any and all feedback would is, as ever, greatly appreciated.

Please view the full image, too, because the compressed one looks a bit minging.

I am SURE that no one will use THIS image :-)

Don't normally ask, but full view is much better.
