the pied piper
10 x 8 gouache on illustration board.
pied piper, candyman, one-man-band... This guy has it all. (what I wouldn't give to have a pushmipullyu wagon...) I love thinking of the noise this group must make as he leads them off to....
What I love is the discomfort I feel seeing candy mixed in with meaty steaks. I wonder-- would you pluck that black-and-white cookie to eat, even after resting a while in that hot wagon? (I think I would.)


I love it. The boy adds to your universe and the pipers has some great shorts!

Thanks, Blake! I'll say, if I were a shorts-wearer, I would definitely shop where they do. :)
