Willy Wonka

As it is the 40th anniversary of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory we have decided to have a focus on this as part of our zine... This is a watercolour illustration I have done of Willy Wonka, in the style of Quentin Blake (illustrator of Roald Dahl's books):

In the zine you will information about 20 different things to make and do ranging from outdoor activities such as picnicing to indoor hobbies such as pom-pom making and dancing. Everyone will find here many absorbing and creative ways of spending their leisure time. This zine is copiously illustrated with helpful diagrams, photographs, and drawings.

Old Vs New

As much as I love Johnny Depp, no one could have played Wonka better than Gene Wilder...it's interesting how different the latest version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is compared to the original...this comparison could be included in the zine.
