En esta ocasión me llamó más la atención el poema que la obra en si, lo encontré hermoso y hasta tiene todo un dejo melancólico. Como un buen cuento antes de irse a dormir.
Me gustaron la pareja del ratón con el ave.

jajajaja awww!!! que cosas! muy buen apoyo el poema
de esos recuerdos de la infancia que son dignos de enmarcar. De contar una y otra vez.
Afortunado usted que tiene los medios para proyectar lo que hay/hubo dentro de su cabeza, en este tipo de situaciones es cuando el lenguaje verbal resulta apenas suficiente comparandolo con las posibilidades de transmitirlo con este medio (ilustracion).
Supongo que todos teniamos de niños ideas asi de locas, y mediante la palabra escrita o hablada se pueden transmitir esas extrañas visiones del pasado. Se pueden contar pero dificilmente alcanzaran la vividez y precision que tienen dibujadas.
en cuanto a la pieza, que le puedo decir? digna de un libro de texto nacional!
esto mas que un comentario positivo podria parecerle a mucha gente una verdadera ofensa pues estos libros suelen imprimirse en papeles de no tan buena calidad, son generalmente maltratados y hasta destruidos por los dueños y el mero hecho de que sean gratuitos podria parecer ofensivo. Pero que caray, si nos ponemos a pensar a que publico llegan y las marcas que dejan (hablo desde mi experiencia personal) las imagenes que contienen son materiales que se quedan con uno hasta que se lo lleva la tia de las muchachas... es por eso que ese comentario positivo de mi arsenal solo es digno de ocasiones muy especiales. Traducido al cristiano significa "MUY MUY BUENO"

That's a beautiful poem. :3
I love bats. Sadly, here in New England, while they are around, they tend to be a rare sight ('less you know where to look, I guess). Worse still, a fungus has bee sweeping through killing them as the hibernate. Bad stuff!
They're lovely animals (if creepy sometimes... look up ghost bats. They specialize at eating lizards, small snakes, frogs, and small mammals like other bats!) I got to see them real good last summer. I've come to learn that street lights attract bats that are hunting for moths and beetles drawn to the lights. I saw them on campus doing this, and down in Georgia while visiting family (I really should post more photos from that trip...) They move so fast!
All in all, this is a great piece. Keep up to great work.

LOve the poem, and I can see why you would think that bats were born of rats and birds. We used to have tons on bats in our old house. It was one of those huge antique constructs that was badly built so that the eaves had openings where birds, bats and god knows what else were able to nest. But anyway, looking at the bats made me think of how much they looked like rats, furry bodies, beady eyes and all.
But I digress... On the pic itself, it has a nice, old school, children's book vibe to it, which I like.

Thanks for the kind words, Hannah I wanted to do something more cute than my usual stuff, and I think I succeeded
I'm glad to read you weren't acquainted with the poem (lest I be sued for copyright infringements ) Truth be told, I translated it from the Spanish version of the poem (the original I might add) which I wrote for my nephews (who were the reason for this illustration to happen ). Allow me to explain: they came over a few weeks ago, and because we all went out (their mother, their grandma, me and my own mother), we saw a couple of bats in the night sky (they're unusual these days ), flying close to us. We were all quite surprised, but more so the children, as they don't see anything like that in Mexico city anymore. So, I remembered my ideas as a child and asked them if they knew where bats came from :3 I explained it to them (and the idea that they are really old rats that grow wings to get to heave - as it is the only way they can cheat Saint Peter and enter the heavenly kitchen, where cheese never runs out ) hence the story and pic (which they have now).
I can clearly imagine mama bird saying to his ratty husband: "He got that attitude from YOUR side of the family."
*Sorry for the long reply

Adorable poem and picture. The expression on the kid bat's face is great, looks very happy. It's very much like an illustration out of a kid's book, and I love the water colouring on it!
