Yes. I would cross the street if I saw him coming towards me. Wonderful portrayal.

Agreed! Love Dickens and a Christmas Carol in particular, so a win win for me and I agree with Martin.

Oh yes, fits the description perfectly

Congratulations, a truly original interpretation of what Scrooge looked like - not the twisted, mean matchstick of a man but a full blown, unscrupulous Victorian villain.

Brilliant portrayal Lewis of a great character from my favourite Dickens novel.

Thank you very much for your generous comments. I think this tale is his most approachable of his novels. I have an illustrated version of the book. As part of my seasonal doings I shall sit down with some port wine, some slivers of various cheeses on crackers, and read it. I’m looking forward to it.

I had to include Ebenezer in my Dickens pics. This started out as a watercolour, but I had to give up on that and turn it into more of a drawing.

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.
