Illustration Friday: Twist -

"Selfportrait of the Artist on a Thrill Ride"
digital collage by Mick Mather

As I was researching ideas for twist, this week's theme at Illustration Friday, there were too many all at once worth fiddling with. Since I'm off to work at a small fireworks festival this evening, I had to choose quickly and decided on this 1960's era amusement park ride. Invented by a team of English designers around 1959, it went almost immediately into productive use on both sides of the Atlantic and I remember it well.
