Pinocchio - The Happy Lil Puppet

It was a cold night in 1989. I just returned from my late Grandmother's farmyard home with a strange black box in my hand. She herself spoke with my mother about it, and thought that I should give a try at "watching" it, in case I might not like it.<br />
And then, as soon as we came home, she sat me down in front of the TV, opened up the box and pulled up a video cassette. It was placed into the VCR, and the TV screen started to show the opening credits for what I was about to witness.<br />
<br />
And it was from that day that I knew, that "Pinocchio" would be my first gander into the magical world of Walt Disney. :)<br />
<br />
And now, 15 years later, I can't help but try some artwork for him. He's been an inspirational character for a strong amount of my childhood, so why not reflect one of the early scenes in there, when he makes his way over to his first day at school. (One can wonder, how does he know where the school is? :P) And on his hat we have his overprotective conscience Jiminy Cricket, whom I can honestly admit I CAN NOT DRAW!!! ;_;<br />
<br />
eh, but I like the outcome of this nonetheless ^^<br />
