© 1986-2010 Armando Salas. Classic fairy tale cover from 1986. I painted TONS :-) of fairy tales in the 80's. Children could read the tale but cut and paste "pieces" also.--- I was searching on Internet for translation for LA RATITA PRESUMIDA (Spanish name) and just found this Youtube video. It's funny because I had that "movie projector", the same, when I was a child :-) OMG! Memories...! ----- Upper image: THE CONCEITED LITTLE RAT. Tempera on paper. Bottom image: Page and pieces to cut+paste. Pen, india ink and gouache.

AWWWWWWWWW WHAT A SAD END TO THE LITTLE RAT. VERY CLEVER, HOWEVER. AND ALL IMAGES ARE OUTSTANDING, ARMANDO. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THESE AND THE YOUTUBE.

Didn't know rats could be conceited, but then again, illustrating all the human qualities we all posses is quite a feat in your hands. Job well done!

Artist Reply: Not sure I'm a great artist since you see a MAN RAT where I put a MAN CAT :-))) LOL!. By the way, since we are talking about mice, you can serve cheese to your guests :-)
