Lucy Pevensie pulled the wardrobe door wide open, and found a whole other world.I've been meaning to post some photos I took a couple years back of the actual wardrobe that inspired C. S. Lewis to write The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It was on display along with his writing desk, and other items. I was most interested in the wardrobe, which although it was not the one from the movie it was more special because it was the catalyst to the entire Narnia series. I thought it was timely to post it now with the new movie, Prince Caspian out in theaters now.
This sign was some cute museum humor. It warned, "Enter at your own risk. The Wade Center assumes no responsibility for persons who disappear or are lost in the wardrobe."

Bee, I'm so glad my chipmunk sacrifice got a laugh. :)
Woody, This is a sketch scanned and colored in photoshop.I also brought it some subtle scanned textures, and did a little gradient action to make that back corner darker. I always end up with lots and lots of photoshop layers.
This is great! I just love our style. Your style would indeed be great for a picture book of this story. What a cool idea Eric had.
Very cool tie in to the theme too!
