Illustration Friday- Snap: A Disagreeable Lullaby

For this illustration I sketched in pencil, inked with a Sharpie and colored in Photoshop.


Am I the only one that has a problem with the lyrics to this lullaby?

Rock-a-bye, baby
In the treetop
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall
And down will come baby
Cradle and all

The perspective works very well here - the ground looks so far away!

Awesome! Very nice image.

This has always been one of the stranger nursery rhymes to me. What was the baby ever doing up there?
