Once again, I have a rejected New Yorker cover on my hands. This time I had decided not to leave anything up to chance and submitted a finished piece, but to no avail. The New Yorker obviously doesn't appreciate the gift of a dead mouse.
But maybe you do.
While actually catching a mouse in your teeth and presenting at the feet of your loved one is not practical, perhaps giving this print would be the next best thing. If you know a cat owner with impeccable taste, just click the image to the right.
"Go Ahead, Open It!" is a signed, limited edition of 250.

Brilliant! New Yorker New Schmorker.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this! The NYer has no humor.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's clear as to whether the cat is giving or receiving the mouse.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool
ReplyDeleteLove it!:0)
ReplyDeleteseems, no cat-owners work at the New Yorker :D
ReplyDeleteAmazing Work! I love it, too
Our cats seldom present us with the whole mouse. Sometimes, only half, others, only the spleen.
ReplyDeleteI'm embarrassed to say that my cat is almost as fat as the one Peter created. Great pic! Happy Turkey day Peter and everyone else here!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Love the expression on the cat and character design. Great coloring as well! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it, New Yorker... Why?
ReplyDeleteSweet like a pic coming from a movie of Hayao, is awesome how masters converse without knowing it, sometimes. :D
ReplyDeleteBrilliant. Cats never quite understand why people aren't more thrilled with such love offerings....
ReplyDeleteHave a SUPER weekend !
ReplyDeletelove it. Love the detail of the mouse.
ReplyDeleteit's so cute and funny. I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI come here to drink from the pool....ahhhh! Thanks! Back to work....
ReplyDeleteAWWWW
ReplyDeleteSo sweetly evil :)
I love it Peter! Nothing says Christmas like a dead rodent. Especially in NYC.
ReplyDeleteHi - this is Courtney from CTN (more specifically from the red-eye trip back)
ReplyDeleteYou looked a little exhausted and over-complimented at the end of the expo, so I thought I would give it a week before complimenting your work! I'm a very big fan of your work, and I'm so happy to see you have a blog. And I love the design of that little mouse!
Very nice drawing, with a very subtle cruelty in the cat's eye, despite his gentle smile.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, I don't understand the decisions of people rejecting such art...
Well, thank you for sharing and thank you for inspiring so much.
I just had to thank you for the wonderful print. I received mine the other day and it is even more gorgeous on paper.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the amazing work.
This is hilarious, Love it.
