The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - Tom and Becky in the cave with the bats

Another piece from the Adventures of Tom Sawyer series. This time we have Tom and Becky Thatcher dealing with the bats in Injun Joe's cave.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - "Dead Cat."

Going through Tom Sawyer I couldn't help but take a little bit of time to draw something up based on this exchange.  I'd like a bit more gore on the cat I must admit but I'm producing pieces at the minute for my portfolio to appeal to publishers hence the omission.  Here's the text:


Tom hailed the romantic outcast:

"Hello, Huckleberry!"

"Hello yourself, and see how you like it."

"What's that you got?"

"Dead cat."

"Lemme see him, Huck. My, he's pretty stiff. Where'd you get him ?"

"Bought him off'n a boy."

 "What did you give?"

"I give a blue ticket and a bladder that I got at the slaughter-house."

"Where'd you get the blue ticket?"

"Bought it off'n Ben Rogers two weeks ago for a hoop-stick."

"Say - what is dead cats good for, Huck?"

"Good for? Cure warts with."

As I'm making work for publishing I thought I'd do a Black and White version too

 

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - Tom and Huck Witness a Grave-Robbing

Another in the series of Tom Sawyer pieces I'm working on at the minute, this time an interior.
Here Tom and Huck have gone down to the grave of Hoss Williams with Huck's newly acquired dead cat and bear witness to a grave robbing (and a whole lot more.)

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - Mark Twain

I've been working on a lot of new work recently in time for London Book Fair.  Tom Sawyer was one of the classics I thought I'd take on and here's how his cover's turned out.  More B&W interior illustrations to come, but all in time.
