"Hey Diddle Diddle!
The Cat and the Fiddle,
The Cow jumped over the Moon;
The Dog laughed to see such sport,
And the Dish ran away with the Spoon."
- Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes

This was an image I have been doing for some time now. In the mist of trying to recreate Puss and Boots, I decided to find yet another character to try to "re-create". I found my old Beatrix Potter books and read Cat and the Fiddle. Granted that it doesn't make much sence, but I thought of several stories that could fit this. I also bought a few Violin music cds to get my insperation alive. After a month, I thought of an interesting Modern twist to Cat and the Fiddle using the Cat himself, laughing dogs, bovines and the moon...but I have yet to incorperate the Dish and Spoon.

Anyways, here is my drawing of an "action-packed" Cat and the Fiddle, drawn with pen and colored in Photoshop. I really want to get into character and concept design. I will upload different styles of the Cat and Fiddle.
