The Space Museum
A lot of people say that episode 1 of this story is brilliant, and the rest is a real let-down. Actually, I love the rest of the serial, it’s got an opimistic, cheap-and-cheerful b-movie quality to it. By scrawling the word “revolution” across the sketch, as Vicki shouts it out, I hope I’ve refected that – the pose I’ve used is also infuenced by that tone. It’s a kids’-book illustration, big brush-strokes swirl around her (they’re acrylic, the writing is oil pastel, she is ink & watercolour). I also think I’ve cracked the ink-and-watercolour look that I’ve been experimenting with in some sketches. At the same time, I’ve tried to suggest that she’s an unlikely “forces’ sweetheart” or sex symbol for this revolution!
