Sylvia Made Me Do It

hehehe Very non PC these days. I love it

And I am glad she did ! This is brilliant Robert.

Very cute and well, very well. drawn.

Love it!

Love the attitude! Brilliant sketch.

Didnt beg...did dare,double dare. Love him, who is he based upon? which "fat rat"?? Fun.!!

He is based on the Great Ralph, whose oil portrait adorns my blog page. My first and my best rat who, given the chance, would have smoked cigars and did, whenever he could find it, guzzle alcohol. Don't care whether you begged or dared, so long as everyone knows it's your doing.

did you thank her hi robert a great one ,,after my own heart

Love it and the humour behind it...I remember commenting on Great Ralph on your blog he's beautiful

Alan, Ralph would have thanked her; he was a gregarious soul. Patsy, he was indeed beautiful - not a word you'd normally think to associate with a rat. But he just was: and I do my best to use his image wherever I can and thus to ensure him of immortality. Immorality he had already.

What a fun image. and beautifully drawn. We await this years now.

Glad I logged on tonight, his great :-).

Chuckle, chuckle, just spotted this one. Might be a little non PC but I think it's great.

lol

A man of many talents. Thanks.

Nice one...a fat lab-rat...mmm a roaster...

As an old cartoonist/illustrator, I commend you on this drawing! Good on ya! You have a flair, my friend!

I just so envy people with humour!

Robert, I am hoping for your help. I wondered if you could have a look at my latest gallery picture of westport on angela angela. I am not happy with it. The colours are greyed by my bad photography, so I am not asking about that. It is the overall composition I think that is troubling me..I think the building in the back , the old boat house is oversized or an ugly shape or something? I based it on a sketch I did on the spot and now it is enlarged I think maybe it is too big. I dont really know, but something about this picture isnt working and I just cant figure out what. Maybe it is the tones? It is really aggravating me that I cant analyse why I dont find it working for me. I would be really grateful for your help with this. I think you have a good eye for what works and I havent really developed that yet it seems. Especially when it comes to my own stuff. I have an affinity for that old boatshed as it is really iconic in my childhood memories and I think I may have made it too large because of my fondness for it? Anyway, any comment would be very much appreciated by me. Hope you dont mind me asking. :)

And a merry Christmas & Happy new year to you too. Nice Sketch Robert

Somehow seem to have missed this one Robert. I love it. Smashing sketch. PS I would like to thank you for your very kind comment on New York always very much appreciated. PPS you commented on my poppy sometime ago - I wondered whether to include it in my exhibition you said; 'bung it in' which tickled me at the time. It sold. I was so pleased.

I wish I was as good at giving advice to myself as I seem to be at giving it to other people! Very pleased you took my advice and even more so that your painting sold.

Great! I love the Humour associated with this one !

What a yell. That card must have been met with gales of laughter in Christmas households everywhere.

Your rattie illustrations are great. It is amazing how many true rat lovers cannot quite get their pets right, in spite of cuddling them and playing with them every day. Your drawings have captured their personalities so well.,

L.O.L. Love it! Naughty Sylvia for making him do things he shouldn't be doing!

Very well done. Looks ready to entertain with riveting .. erm ..tails :)
