Uh, I loved those books, too! And still do! We had a big old collection of the stories, and they were my favorite! Especially Mr. Tickle ^^ The book is still alive, and I hold it very dear <3
I didn't realize that, until you said so, but maybe they had an impact on my art! Cool!
I don't know if I want to sell the sketch, now that I've put the finished painting up for sale already ... In a way, it's both the same subject, so it doesn't feel right somehow.
Although I like it, too!
Thanks for your feedback! You helped a lot today <3
