Brilliant painting of Scrooge Lewis, mind you, he's a brave man sitting, listening to paranormal activity. You would see the flames from my heels as I was running for the door.

You win , Lewis. I have pulled the book from the book shelves Illustrations by Emil Weiss , printed Oct 1944 by Edson (printers)Ltd given to me for Christmas '45 , made the journey from the UK to NZ , has lost its spine , requires careful handling - but is well loved !! I await to see the reformed character after the visitation of the three Ghosts of Christmas

Thanks to all for your comments. Yes Mike, I have a very similar copy of the book, read so often it's amazing we haven't worn the words out.

Yes, excellent character drawing skills Lew, and I’ve said it before, but I do like this blue format.

There's meanness and suspicion in that face Lewis, well done!

Bah Humbug !! Great character, how one might imagine Mr. Scrooge.

He’s got a shock coming when that door flies open, great work Lewis.

I had to do another Scrooge. This time less cartoony. This was painted very loosely with watercolour, and then finished with a polychromos pencil. I lost some of the whites in the hair, and used a little gouache.

About the Artist

Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
