With Halloween so close I couldn't resist combining this weeks Illustration Friday with an All Hallows Eve greeting. I was also inspired by a fascinating account I found of how an individual raven called Grip became the inspiration for both Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" AND a character (appropriately a Raven...) in Dicken's "Barnaby Rudge". So here's an illustration of a couple of cheeky ravens showing just how smart they are by putting all the pieces back in the jackolanterns.

Cool stylization... Happy Halloween!
What a clever, seasonal response to the prompt. I really love the style of this.
Nice graphic treatment - Ravens are among the most intelligent birds, along with the parrots, with an ability to reason and use tools. There's a book called the mind of the Raven which is something of a classic.
Gorgeous piece! So simple and sweet!
What a great idea, and so beautifully done!
very cool
happy Halloween
