The Sultan's Elephant was a street show put on by the Royal de Luxe theatre company. The show consisted of a giant puppet girl and a giant mechanical elephant that they built. It only showed in a few cities including London and Nantes, France. Anyway I randomly came across pictures and youtube videos of the show and I am in awe of it. I wish I could have been there when they performed. Here is a video of the performance:
Anyway the painting above was based on the elephant in the show. I was so inspired by it and....I also love elephants.
The painting was done with pen, watercolor and colored pencil on charcoal paper.
