Artist's Comments

Illustration done back in December 2008 for a class of mine based off the Aesop's fable "The Fox & the Grapes" done in my children's storybook style.

Original size is 10x17 on illustration board, done in Gouache & colored pencil. Currently framed and matted and available for sale for $750.

Forgive the fuzziness of the image - photographed while in the frame since I had never scanned it prior.

This is beautiful. I love Aesop's fables! ^_^ The framed version looks better, though. For some reason this looks grainy. Thank you for linking the other picture. Great use of color in this. Love the perspective, depth, lighting, and fable itself. Good job. :)

Yeah the photo submitted is grainy since it was taken through glass and such. Sucky photo but I forgot to take one prior to framing it unfortunately. Glad ya like the picture and the framed version~

Maybe you could submit the framed version too? I just thought that the colors were sharper and looked truer to the picture. Great job though. :) ^^

^^ yeah. Good idea. I may as well simply replace this submission image with the framed version even. Also. Love your icon!

GASP it's colorful!! I looooooove it! I almost feel hungry looking at it. Almost. I ate a bunch for lunch. And not a bunch of grapes, a bunch of mini samitchies. Yum.
