The High Schooler’s Guide to the Galaxy
Book: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Posted by: John Martz
I’ve come down with a post-TCAF cold, so I have to apologize for not having the energy to complete my latest Hitchhiker’s Guide illustration on time. As a reward for your patience, and as punishment for my tardiness, I have a gift to offer.
This isn’t the first time I’ve created illustrations for The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. In high school I illustrated the book’s characters as part of an actual book report. It is with great embarrassment and humility that I present some of these illustrations to you.
You’ll notice Trillian is holding a torch. At the time I wasn’t aware that torch was British for flashlight. The drawings are from 1992, when I was in grade 9. The green Vogon, dated 1995, was from a later sketchbook.
