The Mouse Trapby *faile35

Traditional Art / Drawings / Fantasy

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.

I wonder who that mouse in the corner is calling.

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.
