Artist's Comments

This was inspired by a book I read when I was little about a little bird that fell out of it's nest when it hatched and asked a number of animals and objects if they were it's mother. I always thought it was sooo adorable. Even if I was in Pre-K when I first read it.

The book was called: "Are you my Mother?" by P.D. Eastman

An earlier version of this was done early in my High School Senior Year...but I lost it. TT.TT So I decided to redo it again.

In case anyone is too slow to figure it out... it's the DUCK that's asking the girl.

EDIT! fixed the image a bit so it's a bit more obvious that the girl is looking at the duck. ALSO! This image is now available as a PRINT!

I remember that book! It asked that one big yellow claw thingy...Can't remember the name, but he asked it if it was his mother. I loved that book. This is an amazing picture! :heart:

Ahh! That is one of my favorite childrens books! It's so sweet and sorta sad and wonderful (and unrealistic, because that duck totally would have just imprinted the first moving thing...but I love it all the same). Beautiful image, and I think you capture the essence of the book so well.
