Illustrating T.S. Elliot’s MACAVITY --- Guest Post from Illustrator Arthur Robins
Comments
Whether you're a feline fan or a Broadway fanatic, it's probably safe to assume that you've heard of "Cats," the hit musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber. What you may not know, however, is that the play is actually based on OLD POSSUM'S BOOK OF PRACTICAL CATS, a collection of poems by T. S. Eliot.

In this post, Robins shares some sneak peeks of the book and discusses how he came to illustrate MACAVITY and what his process was like.
