Anyways. I own two Amphigorey collections, one of which contains, of course, "The Gashlycrumb Tinies." So that's what this is after, mates. I'm rather satisfied with the drawing, except for three things: one, I was too cowardly to ink it, as I only had a .05, and I'd like to have done it in a .01. Two, the line only has nine syllables, as opposed to the constant ten found throughout "The Gashlycrumb Tinies." I tried to rewrite it, but they always came out sounding awkward. Three, Ari's proportions are incorrect; the Tinies are 3 heads high, he's a little over 2 and a half heads high. Dammit. Oh, and Stan seems to have lost weight, but I didn't want him to dominate the image, and I didn't want it to be from too far away. :P Also, I'm surprised Gorey didn't go nuts. I only did this half-heartedly (and with far less skill), and it was tedious enough. o_O Or maybe he did go nuts. It's hard to tell, especially if you read "The Epiplectic Bicycle."

Oh, and it was great fun drawing Stan, trying to get the shadow in more of a... I dunno, interesting light. Or rather, anti-light. Right.
