The Key That Fits by Jason Tako
This is a rough pencil sketch for an illustration of G.K Chesterton's monumental book Orthodoxy. It shows many prominent atheist and agnostic thinkers of the late 19th and early 20th century: Nietzche, Huxley, Spencer, Bradlaugh and Shaw, all sitting at a table with their books piled in the center of their table. Chesterton said it was actually their writings, and all the contradictions he found in them, that led him to Christianity.

Wonderful! I love it. Is this a commissioned piece? Or just a personal project? Be sure to post the final.
This is marvelous. :) Thinking at all of making prints available?
Kevin, not really commissioned. I'm working with a publisher on doing Chesterton's Orthodoxy with illumination and illustrations. If there is a demand I may have to think about prints. God bless!
