Illustration Friday - INSECT
No time for anything time-consuming, so a quickie in my sketchbook for my three-year old Xavier, who loves this song.

Very humorous! The neat lines remind me of Sempe, whom I really adore...
I also like this piece a lot! The line work is very nice. Very simple however effective! Looks like the Old gal is going to get an early dinner!
love the drawing!
OMG! That's so funny!!!! Great take on the theme!!!
I don't know why she.... Thats a great take on the topic!
I love how deeply she is snuggled into her easy chair. She was probably hungry, and TOO tired to get up and make a pastrami sandwich. Where should I go to see how you did that neat mouse-over b/w to color business? Wonderful.
My boys think that song is hilarious too. No thanks to dear husband though, it MUST to be sung a particular way. I love the quick drawings we do for our kids. Excellent take.
I am so glad you did this theme. It is such a funny tale! Well done.
Ah, a childhood favorite, "I Know An Old Lady." Great linework, Julie!
There was an old lady who lived in a shoe, which reminds me of a time I went to church as a young boy and there was a roach in my shoe, and I felt it moving all through church, and when I came home I took off the shoe and the roach crawled out, which makes me wonder if roaches eat flies or vice versa or neither?
Miragee, I didn't know Sempe's work and 'googled' him - great discovery, and what a compliment - thank you.
Sultry painterwoman I've e-mailed you.
Thank you all for being so nice about this little sketch.
