Description
Another pen and ink done years ago. Notice the undisturbed and forgotten mouse trap in the upper corner. I think there are 114 mice in the picture, but it might be 140. Can't remember. The woman's clothes are an 80s style aerobics outfit, not weird lingerie... I think she slipped on the spilled water, hit her head on the floor, blacked out for a half-hour, and the mice pounced on her. Why? How did the mice get smart enough to use rocks, nails, and yarn to stake her down? What'll they do now? Will she get out of it?I have no idea.
Enjoy.
Edit (Feb 3, 2008): I finally completed a follow-up image to this one. "The Mouse Trap 2 - Conquered" is here .
Edit (Sept 24, 2006): Wow. Considering how often good things happen to me while I'm sleeping, it's surprising I don't sleep more, and better. My thanks to DocRedfield for referring this piece, and to oedalis for selecting it. I wrote up a larger bit in my Journal Entry . Along with my thanks to these two folks, I appreciate those who've commented on "The Mouse Trap." You're all great.

My favorite part is taking the phone off the hook. These mice have thought about everything.

If I buy the print, will it be large enough for me to be able to make out everything in the picture?Β I feel certain there are a few comical things going on with the mice here and thereΒ

Oh! Yeah. Almost forgot. You might find this interesting. Mine are Japanese, too! (Do you think maybe they all are?)

Great pic. And they really do stuff like this! Hehe.
My one crit has to do with the perspective. The curve of the table and the recession of the tiles are quiet enough not to be noticed at first glance, but don't stand up to close inspection. A little attention to restricting the field of vision or mechanically correcting the perspective (or possibly both) would go a long way to resolving distortions. Of course, the distortions may actually contribute to that queasy, vertigo-type feeling the picture gives me - a positive thing, in this case.

They have little stones in their hands, using them as hammers. The easiest ones to make out are toward the top of the page--one at the hair by her left ear, one at her left thigh, and one at her left ankle.

I suspect they're angry because she put the mousetrap down in the first place.

Yeah, she drew first blood, not them...

QUESTION: Now that the mice have captured her, what are they gonna do with her. It just like that dog that chases cars. Just curious.

Well, there's a follow-up image to this one in my gallery: [link] I'd imagine that the mice will now do whatever they want, with the woman in their control... The question is, what do the mice want?
