Description Cropped/color edited version of a picture I am thinking of selling at Morphicon (I swear there's more detail on Peaches, honest! I had to lighten the BG and she got the brunt!)

This is a silly spoof of one of my favorite pictures from one of my favorite artists, Norman Rockwell. The amount of detail, expression, and humor in his work is a big inspiration to me. So... how do I honor his memory? I draw this dorky thing! And now he's prolly turning around in his grave.

Arty would totally, totally do that. And if the hat weren't cropped out of the scan, I'd say that it's the one I'm wearing to Further Confusion to be an utter dork (and because Arty's got a matching one!)

hehe, oh Arty, what are we going to do with you? I bet Vinci's laughing on the inside.
It's a great picture, lovely coloring, interesting details, and it's funny.

You might make Norman Rockwell cry, but you make me laugh. I love Normal Rockwell too, this is just great. Arty in the background made me burst into giggles.

Happy New Year. ^_^

This is hilariously adorable, and I am practically squeeing with joy, simply because of the small details. Arty being a goofball in the mirror, Peaches's exasperated expression, that rabbit carving, the pictures taped to the easel ... GWAH. THIS IS SO AWESOME. *fave'd*

I don't think that would make him cry, unless its cries of joy from appreciation.

I dig the color pencils used. Wow, that IS an O RLY? owl!! lol
