Christmas 2021, Ratatouille from (and by) Andy Beall

Love this sweet little mouse! a lovely and touching scene. Perfect time for sharing!

I like good food and art, ok?

The holly leaf tree with the thimble stand is so clever. Fun card! 

Happy New Year!

Beautiful! Wonderful piece to end 2021 and begin 2022 with. Happy New Year! 

We need more work like this to remind us that this is all for fun and love. Lovely post as usual and happy holidays to yourself and your familiy!

Thank you sir.  Couldn't agree with you more.  Good art, good fun, and good friends.  What more could you want in a hobby?  Best wishes for the new year Frank.  Stay healthy and safe.

Delightful!  Great back story to this piece and a perfect way to start the year --- HNY to you and yours, Eric!

I can't wait for this to be featured in a Comic Art Live update episode!   Pick this one!

Ha!  If anyone can make that happen, it's you Marcus.  Everyone knows that you're second only to Bill in terms of how much power you have on CAF.  Now I finally understand what the term "social media influencer" means.  Anyway, I'm sure Andy appreciates your efforts.  Okay Marcus followers, let's get this done!  LOL

My gods that story gave me a smile! Love it when creators can make such a difference in person as well as they do through their works. Ratatoullie is one of my all time fav Pixar tales and is criminally underpraised. Congrats on this amazing original! 

Totally agree about Ratatouille.  While the Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and Invincible franchises are what usually come to mind when you think of Pixar, more often than not, I probably play Ratatouille (or even UP) when I feel like watching a Pixar movie.  I love the story and animation in Ratatouille.  The characters (both human and rat) were all fun and interesting.  And the voice actors, wow!  I mean, come on, what animated film can boast having the late, great, Peter O'toole as one of the voices?  Thanks for the nice comment.  If nothing else, it will probably prompt me to watch the movie again sometime today.  

Class all around! Kudos to Andy for such a quality gesture! My 2022 guff is refilled by humanity. Thank you for sharing, and Happy New Year to you, and all the rest of this great community. May 2022 beat 2021 severely, and lock it in a dungeon, never to see the light of day again. ;)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Beall magic! 

Thanks ECA.  It's kinda nice having a cool Andy on both coasts.

fantastic!

How have I not commented on this? I loved Ratatouille! And I love people who make special cards for their friends! Such a cool card! I want friends like this!

You do buddy!  I just can't draw.  LOL

I missed this too somehow!  Absolutely love this sweet & funny card.  (And I have been meaning to watch Ratatouille again).
