Exciting news! ✨ 🌈 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: A Very Special Edition is out now!

I've loved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory since I was a child. It's a story full of strange and wonderful characters and imagery, and getting to spend the better part of a year drawing that world was a dream.

To celebrate the release, I'm sharing some of my favorite details from the book! Throughout the project, I experimented with watercolor, gouache, pastel, and graphite, exploring new ways of mixing media, building color, and making marks.

This very special edition was produced by Melcher Media in close collaboration with the Roald Dahl Story Company and Penguin Random House Kids. Big thanks to Charlie Melcher, Chris Steighner, Sonia Menken, Paul Kepple @headcasedesign, and Courtney Donovan, who all helped make this possible!

Available now at your favorite bookstore! @roald_dahl @melchermedia @penguinkids
