Illustration Sunday: The Great Fire

By Kevin McBride

2008_02_24_IS_GREATFIRE.jpg
There’s an eerie similarity between images of last week’s Queen West fire and The Great Fire of 1904. The largest fire in Toronto history consumed one hundred and four buildings—leaving in its wake skeletal brick facades and mounds of rubble. Incredibly, neither fire claimed any lives.

    I think this is my favourite of your I.S. drawings that I’ve seen. The tones and composition are really working here and it communicates the scene and a mood quite nicely. Maybe channelling a bit of Ronald Searle??

    Fine work again Kevin. Cheers!

    Spacejack – Thanks, and thanks for reminding of Searle. I looked through some of his work this AM. Great stuff!
    Tino – Thanks!
