Moon Cannon

Description

I almost wish I could do this as a short animation piece. The real title would be "and they never came back to tell us what it was like". I had this fun scene in my sketchbook of a bunch of astronauts getting into a cannon in a Victorian age to travel to the moon. Like all the first concepts of flying machines that were horribly misconceived, the idea of being shot out of a cannon with all the innocent spectators was funny to me. I didn't quite pull it off but I thought I would share it all the same. This is acrylic on cut out pieces of paper. Thanks for looking.

This reminds me strongly of Melies' film "A Trip to The Moon".
This is a very lovely and whimsical illustration.
