This is a detail obviously and I used it cause I didn't have a cricket picture.

It reminds me so much of the cricket that was in an animated show that I remember only vaguely. I believe it was a Chuck Jones-produced story, and it involved a cricket who, instead of merely chirping, plays beautiful music. I seem to remember him playing in a corner newsstand (which I suspect have long since vanished from even the sprawling metropolii), and then later going to live with an Oriental man who housed him in a beautiful castle-like cage. It was probably made some 35 years ago, which is likely why I only remember it in dribs and drabs, but I do remember the look of the cricket, and you've captured it nicely... even if that wasn't your original intent! ;)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the trip down memory lane.<BR/><BR/>JonJon Westcothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15289839252112720400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888649478237507446.post-82394661510692126162009-02-17T06:12:00.000-05:002009-02-17T06:12:00.000-05:00Some of my art, that has things in common with you...Some of my art, that has things in common with your art<BR/><BR/>Yes, mine is a mantis and yours is a grasshopper... but arthropods they are.<BR/><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://ryanmercer.com/images/arthropods/mantis1.JPG" REL="nofollow">http://ryanmercer.com/images/arthropods/mantis1.JPG</A>Ryan Mercerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06414248790619053685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888649478237507446.post-29036975556009413012009-02-17T06:11:00.000-05:002009-02-17T06:11:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ryan Mercerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06414248790619053685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888649478237507446.post-30554061215275771352009-02-16T16:43:00.000-05:002009-02-16T16:43:00.000-05:00I just commented on nearly everything! i will eat ...I just commented on nearly everything! i will eat your cricket.
