John Mayer playing guitar with marionette

Create a surreal and melancholic illustration in the style of Edward Gorey, featuring a marionette-like figure with exaggerated proportions, dressed in a striped shirt and sandals. Use meticulous cross-hatching to bring out the textures of the wooden limbs and the fabric of the clothing, emphasizing a sense of age and wear. The figure should have an expressionless, slightly eerie face, reflecting emotional detachment. Keep the background minimal--perhaps just a hint of a shadowed wall or an abstract surface--using negative space effectively to create tension and stillness. Incorporate subtle symbolic motifs, such as faint strings in the background or shadowy outlines of animals, hinting at themes of control, play, or nostalgia. Ensure the character and environment convey a blend of whimsy and quiet melancholy, typical of Gorey’s haunting and intricate style.
