I painted this bizarre scene in 1989 for the cover of "Castle Kidnapped
" by John DeChancie. My friend James Warhola posed for the guy with the fizzy wine glass, and I posed as the jester with the levitating marotte.

I enjoyed the creature design on this one, especially figuring out the walk cycle of a 6-legged blue ankylo-tortoise. I hope that little orange eyeball frog hops away before he gets stepped on.

I learn something every day from your blog, James. Today I learned the word "marotte." Though I'm not entirely sure how the marotte in this wonderful picture is levitating! Maybe I'm looking at the wrong figure. Anyway, great fun!
I love this! And I can tell you were the jester! Wonderful, colorful piece!
