The 'Wicked' Lore of the Time Dragon

A key feature in Gregory Maguire's novel "Wicked", The Clock of the Time Dragon was always designed to be a spectacle. But taking it off the page from the stage for the musical required a special type of magic.

This is a story about time, about looking at things differently, and about how a group of creatives attempted to bring a giant mechanical dragon to life.

This is the lore of the Time Dragon.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped put this project together:

Cesario Tirado-Ortiz (Illustrations)
@DistoryDan (Time Dragon section voiceover)
Shari Whalen (Collaborator on puppet theatre Time Dragon)

And the biggest thank you to my lovely wife Julianna, who not only put up with me locking myself away in the office for 18 hours a day to make this project, but for also being willing to go on all the adventures this project brought. From the Time Dragon in the living room, to exploring a clock shop, to building a puppet theater (that makes it our third and she even embroidered the Time Dragon), and poking the scary gears into the cardboard backdrop, she was there through it all.
