The story
He had sworn off the swamp after the incident with the beret and the harsh critique from a passing flamingo. Now, three seasons into his apprenticeship under a disillusioned portraitist, he mixed his own pigments with surprising precision—though he still occasionally snapped at the turpentine. Today, the mirror showed progress: the suit fit, the monocle stayed, and for the first time, his reflection didn’t make him want to hide beneath the divan. Outside, rain tapped the skylight like a disapproving critic.
The brief
A crocodile stands upright in a sunlit Parisian atelier, wearing a tailored charcoal suit with a silk pocket square, one claw resting on a gilt-framed mirror while the other adjusts a monocle, surrounded by half-finished canvases and tubes of cadmium yellow.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
