No More Z’s!

So like Andrea Kalfas before me I have to hold my hands up and say this month got the better of me! For one reason or another I only got around to sitting down with ‘Ella’ yesterday. Disaster! Anyway I thought that after last months slightly more digital offering I’d get the paint out and tackle this old school!

At this point in the text the letter Z has fallen from the cenotaph and the town leaders have taken this as a sign from on high that Z is no longer a part of the alphabet. All usages of Z are banned and anyone heard to utter the forbidden letter is..well…for it! This image is a totally simple interpretation of that I guess. This is also sort of how I imagine the eponymous Ella to look.

Hopefully next month I’ll have more time to spend with this and can come up with something really meaty to redeem myself!
