Who could forget the pranks, the adventures, the sheer fun of Tom
Sawyer? It's something every child should experience and every
child will love. From Tom's sly trickery with the whitewashed
fence--when he cleverly manipulates everyone so they happily do his
work for him--to his and Becky Thatcher's calamities in Bat Cave,
the enjoyment just never ends. The illustrations for this series
were created by Scott McKowen, who, with his wife Christina
Poddubiuk, operates Punch & Judy Inc., a company specializing
in design and illustration for theater and performing arts. Their
projects often involve research into the visual aspects of
historical settings and characters. Christina is a theater set and
costume designer and contributed advice on the period clothing for
the illustrations.
Scott created these drawings in scratchboard - an engraving medium
which evokes the look of popular art from the period of these
stories. Scratchboard is an illustration board with a specifically
prepared surface of hard white chalk. A thin layer of black ink is
rolled over the surface, and lines are drawn by hand with a sharp
knife by scraping through the ink layer to expose the white surface
underneath. The finished drawings are then scanned and the color is
added digitally.
