03. Concept Development – Combining Spells

It was now time for me to figure out a way to produce an image where this rabbit is exploding out from the hat. This is the key piece of my work as I wanted to capture my theme movement in this part of my work.
Once again I looked towards Denis Zilber for inspiration. In one of Zilber’s illustrations he has a man sitting on a couch whose body seems to have elasticated itself so that his face is in front of the television on the other side of the room.


Taking the same model I decided to create a sort of elasticated body shape where the rabbits head would appear floating out of the top hat in a startled way. With a cigarette hanging down from his mouth, I want him to look as if he was called at the wrong time and is not meant to come out of the magic hat right now. This innocence of the rabbit is also contrasted with the villainy of the magician.
