My Illustration Friday attempt for choose.
"Little Miss Pink fell down the sink,
How many gallons did she drink?"
Then, out of rhyme and no longer singing, we'd say: "Choose a number."
That was the little ditty we used to sing as kids to go along with these paper thingos.We didn't have a name for them, but I seem to remember referring to them as 'snap dragons' at some point (although I may very well have made that one up myself).
There are some great comments on this post about what people called them.
And before you ask, we may have redbacks but we never had cooties here, so we didn't need catchers. hehehe...
Anyway, back to Little Miss Pink, let's hope she chooses the right drain to escape.

Lovely - little bit of clean up and you have a new threadless t-shirt there. (go on do it)
Love the minimal coloring and the print effect.

p.s. every one knows those things are really time machines!
charming and whimsical!
So sweet blog! I must visit you more often...
Beautiful - and a little bit eerie!
That's great. Is that a monoprint? How'd you make it? if you can share.
I really like your style. Great whimsy! I think we called these things snapdragons as well.
Thanks :)
Richard, I've been trying to work out how those clever artists get this style for aaaages, then finally this week I discovered this: http://neststudio.typepad.com/moopy_me/2008/02/nest-studio-art.html
I did it step by step and this is how it came out. It's good fun!
Thanks for sharing the technique, Ilove the grainy quality and really suits your quirky drawing.
Hey, that is a cool technique! thanks for the link :) your print looks amazing! and what a creative idea. I do hope she chooses the right drain. Awesome work.
