How funny! I think I've been in that spot before! I love the details of your piece. Always a study. I imagine you have a good time creating them for the viewer! Don't know whether to hope he can't read or not!

Ha! This is great! I guess this little guy needs to learn the best places to hide. Oh! Maybe he did! Maybe it is the size of his brain told him it was a safe place. I like your imagination!
Either way it is funny!

Comment from Artistsushma


Hilarious!! How do you come up with such witty concepts!!! I am still laughing at the cute rodent which is so innocently gullible!! He is smug in the thought that he is safe in that spot where there is a price tag and he is out there to defy the " out of stock" status. Kudos

Comment from Renate-Bertodi


oh dear. Yes, how true, but is anywhere safe for a poor little mouse anywhere. Do you know there were cases of Jews who survived in Berlin to the end! Because like us, they often spoke several languages, they did what ours did and used their language skills. Back then the Germans and most other Europeans were dreadful at languages. The thing about being in the worst spot is that no one expects you to be there!! Great painting.

Comment from TDtraditionalart


Bahaha! Sucker is gonna suffer!! LOL! That is awesome!! Cute little mouse, too cute to kill, but I suppose if he can't read its his own fault. Great drawing here, love your use of colour. Great depth and composition. Your attention to detail is always impressive. Thanks for sharing, all the best in the contest

Comment from CJ's Way


Hahaha...your too funny! I love it...sucker is gonna suffer, lol... the concept and attention to detail is spot on. Almost makes me feel sorry for the little guy. Personally, im more of a realist when it comes to my artwork, that being said I would have added more depth to the boxes and shading around the bottom of the items and the rats rump. Im not really acquainted in the realms of cartoonist art but following you I am learning and picking up on some of the smaller details. So far its been a fun, interesting and intriguing ride. Keep up the good work. You're a good artist.

    i joke around and say that us cartoonist is the ghetto of the art world. we are good for entertaining and advertising..most cartoonist do the basic jest of outline and lil colors with details. the goal is the viewer to understand what the cartoonist is saying in that image. see the reason i say there is a big difference between artist and cartoonist is this..artist express themselves in their work..they can slap together some paint and call it an abstract..that would have the viewer twisting their head trying to figure out what that abstract represents..or an artist will stand out front giving this line about he painted it for world hunger or peace or some kind of bull. with a good cartoonist a viewer can not only immediately know what the scene is but understand the jest of the story without the cartoonist having to explain what he drew. i do get tickled when folks on here on FAR type out this paragraph trying to explain what they drew or painted. when i mentioned that if they have to explain what they have drawn then they failed as a illustrator folks think im a A-hole..cartoons does not require a lot of detail yet i add many in to have the viewer wander in the image to catch them. many dont catch them all. not bad for a guy who never had a art class in his life huh? my teachers were DC, Marvel, Warren Publishing and Heavy Metal. in my young years i copied from the masters like Frank Frazzeta, Richard Corbin and Jack Kirby as example. after the years i started to create instead of copy. thru the decades i trained myself with these sharpie and bic pens of what i can do and not..half century later im finally getting it right..as a cartoonist that is..wink. thanks for the great review.
Comment from avmurray


You were right Mark, I did have a good laugh when I saw this picture. Indeed a wrong place to hide. LOL No wonder the poor rat was out of stock. You truly have a creative mind, and also a good sense of humor.

The rat, or perhaps it is a mouse, is drawn paying such a good attention to details, and I think it is looking rather cute. The colors are as always crisp and clear.

The set up is perfect, and this makes for a good and well balanced composition. I think this is a truly funny and also well done sharpie drawing, and I wish you luck with the contest.
