Illustration Friday: Night
This piece depicts the so-called nursery rhyme "Hey Diddle Diddle" which had its origins in the mid-1700's pubs in Chester/Derbyshire UK. About the image: I created it on scratchboard a few years ago. Since I had no time to illustrate a new piece for "Night," I'm using this. Hey diddle diddle, this will have to do do do! ;-)

This is REALLY well done! I love the flower in the cat's fur (hehehe); the dish and the spoon made me chuckle :) Beautiful scratched lines with lots of movement as to mucic!
This is wonderful! The angles, the brush strokes, and the movement all come together to make quite an impressive piece. Great work!
I love scratchboard work. Great job. Thanks for the intresting backstory about the pub-crawl.
High kudos on the scratchboard technique. It is diddley diddley good! Cheers!

This is really wonderful...there's so much movement here! Great job:>
I LOVE the way the moon is taking it all in. The expression is priceless. Fun and exciting. Your line work adds to the music of the piece.
I love the energy of this piece. The lines are great, and the characters are all really unique-great work.
Very nice drawing. I love the line work.
I love the scratchboard idea. In fact I was going to attempt it for the first time for "Night" but found the set of tools to be a bit pricey to start and I've already spent so much money on various other art supplies and felt guilty spending money on a new medium.
I still want to try scratchboard sometime. Your results are inspirational!
This is an awesome illustration! :) I really love the swirliness (??) of it and the high contrast, and as someone else pointed out, the dish and the spoon are cute.
And I always thought Tolkein spawned the poem in The Lord of the Rings! I'll enjoy reading up on your link!
Chris.
