This image was created to celebrate the Chinese astrological Year of the Boar (or Pig) in 2007. I was charmed by this little pot-bellied pig and kept thinking of the Mother Goose rhyme mothers sing to their toddlers while enticing them to put on their shoes and socks, tickling their toes ...

This little pig went to market.
This little pig stayed home.
This little pig had roast beef.
This little pig had none.
And this little pig went
'whee, whee, whee' all the way home.


Available here.

Este imagen fue creado para celebrar el ano astrologico chino del chancho (o cerdo) en 2007. Me encanto este cerdito y me hizo pensar en la rima de la famosa Mother Goose que las madres cantan a sus hijitos mientras ponen los calcetines y zapatos, cosquillando los dedos del pie ...

Este cerdito se fue al mercado.
Este cerdito se quedo en casa.
Este cerdito comio carne asado.
Este cerdito no tenia nada.
Y este cerdito se fue
'ui, ui, ui' todo el viaje a casa.

De venta aqui.
