This is a drawing I did a few months ago for Carole Jean of the Petticoat Punishment Art site. Carole Jean contacted me earlier this year via deviantART looking for a particular drawing of mine. After I provided a link to the pic in question, I took the opportunity to say that I'd long thought about doing my own take on the Puyal painting of the petticoated boy sitting on a couch reading a book which is on the PPA homepage, having seen a few other artists do their own versions of that pic.
That conversation inspired me to finally sit down and actually draw this pic. I think the conversation may have inspired Carole Jean as well, because I saw that shortly afterward, they made a post offering a free download of a book from the PPA site to anyone else who also did their own version of the couch boy image. I still haven't gotten around to asking Carole Jean for anything, though. For one, I can't make up my mind what I want. Besides, I mainly did this for the hell of it and not because I needed a reward.
Just to show how long I've thought about doing this drawing, for over a decade, I've been hanging onto a discarded American Girl Doll catalog I once found at the library just because it had a cover image that I thought might someday use as a reference for the pic I had in mind (though I ended up not even using it after all).
