I drew this one and showed it my mom, and she said that it is actually a picture by Wilhelm Busch. Anyways, I did not remember that it was by someone else but me, I carried this idea with me the whole day since I read the "fun matrix" this morning.

Took about 90 minutes.

Think it should be 15 colo(u)rs.

That's right. Thanks for correcting me! 8D And oh, okay. Still, this is a nice image!

We gave up already. The word was written almost correctly, you left out the silent French "h": "homage".

(sp?) Means that the word before (sp?) may or may not be spelled correctly, and that the writer is unsure.

Good luck finding that image though!

I made this picture to become more famous here. When my mother saw it and "announced the reference to late Wilhelm Busch", she wanted to show the original to me and began the quest for her Wilhelm Busch anthology. She did not find it and was a bit down, because it seems like this book was one of the not-so-few we lost when we moved from one flat to another.

As you can see, seeking hono(u)r is always brings grief into one's family.

What does "sp" mean?

The picture is, IIRC, in the same angle, and the frog also has a thermometer and a hot-water bag/bottle. But it's not a 1:1-copy or so. Made it accidentally by mind.

And, oh, I listened to Bic Runga's "Beautiful Collision", Billy Talent's debut album and Archer Prewitt's "Three" while painting it. In that order. If anyone cares.

Aw, this is neat! Even if it's an omage (sp?)  to something else, it's still very nicely done. Good job, Lytron!
