This gallery is here to show some real world photo's compared to Bryan's
drawings of the same scenes. These images - both the photo's and the drawn
pictures - are all from The Tale of One
Bad Rat, since that comic is entirely "real world" in that
it is present day, and Bryan deliberately firmly grounded it in reality.
I took these photo's during a weekend break in the Lake District of England
with my girlfriend, and whilst there we stayed at the Thwaite
Cottage bed and breakfast place - and it is truly excellent! It is
a 17th century cottage, with oak beams and excellent views, but most importantly
a wonderful couple who run it. Anway, their details are on the Net at
the link above, so if you ever need a place to stay in the Lake District,
give 'em a try, and say that James sent you!
Cartmell Fell church (inside)
|
|
|
These two images are inside Cartmell Fell church, and in the
comic it is when Helen is taking a long walk and trying to
come to terms with her past.
Both images are on a single page so that they
are easy to compare.

The pub from "Jemima Puddleduck"

This is the pub that was used in "Jemima Puddleduck"
and is on the way from the ferry across Windermere to Hill
Top, which is Beatrix Potter's house.

Helen at Hill Top (1)

This is an image of Helen arriving at Hill Top cottage, where
Beatrix Potter spent her later, happier years. The photo has
a picture of my fiance Vanessa in it, partly for scale, but
also because I wanted to!
