I'll Never Finish That Colour

Description

A digitally coloured version of this one: [link]

From the description of my previous version:

Here the English character, the red squirrel, sits in a restaurant with the American characters, the grey squirrels. The food has just arrived and the Americans get all excited about their lovely big meals! But the English one gets very anxious - how are they ever going to finish this? Because, of course, they must, or else that would be impolite, wouldn't it?

This is a very English attitude to food - it's polite to finish. This attitude is not at all present in America, in my experience. In fact, if you finish, people may think they simply didn't give you enough! This little story is taken from real life.

Pen and ink and digital.

I am thinking of making this a 3-colour (4 if you include the black lines) screen print. Any thoughts on this would be really helpful, thanks a bunch!

I really like your write up for this one - I've experienced the same thing in Canada. Very good artwork!
