It's spooky how the characters read the same as in the original (to me) even though none of their features are remotely the same - their heads aren't even turned the same way - and I don't think it's because Jason's faces are expressionless; it's more like they're just ambiguous enough that they can convey several expressions at once equally convincingly.

But it works well on its own too.
This is a really clever take and I love the colors in yours. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteWonder what those circles are meant to represent? Clouds? the music from the cello?
ReplyDeleteThey are part of a drawing on the back cover of Jason's book, of a character blowing bubbles and they drift onto the front cover. Glad you liked it.
ReplyDeletein the book pocket full of rain they aren’t animals? it’s before jason invented the fabuland-like animals.
