It wasn’t Fido’s day
I was on jury service last week. It wasn’t like this cartoon.
Don’t forget about my Christmas cards – I’ve added cheaper options if you buy lots, so don’t hold back!
Goal setting (for cats)
Tiddles makes a mental note
One day…
I can’t believe I get away with this
Here’s a card I did for my sister’s birthday. She has a cat. The cat does this to her. That cat can’t believe its luck!
I used a thicker nib for this, and coloured direct with markers, which can lead to a bit of smudging, but does make for a nice final card (I think so, anyway).
Update: You can now buy this cartoon on a t-shirt, hoodie, or sticker at RedBubble. How can you resist?
I am cat
Here’s a picture of a local cat. She owns the place.
Bird tables are nothing to a dedicated cat
I coloured with markers today for a change. Markers are my first love, really, but they do get smudgy with ink, which is annoying.
Cat and dog birthday card
Here’s today’s cartoon.
I have an idea to try to do some birthday cards. This is basically a revision of one I did for a friend a few years ago.
I’m not happy with the execution – the animals both are a bit vague, and the perspective on the items in the room is a bit bonkers. However, I’m quite interested by the use of colours I tried. I quite like the sepia for the background. I initially started this on the computer using my Bamboo graphics tablet. I soon stopped that, though, because a: it looks AWFUL and b: I don’t get very much joy from drawing on a tablet. Not nearly as fun or interesting as ink, nibs and the danger that water could go everywhere…
Cat hypnosis
Here’s today’s cartoon.
Nibs, ink, watered coloured inks. I’m using Heavy Weight paper at the moment as it’s a bit cheaper than Bristol Board and seems to work well with the colouring. I should compare with the Bristol Board soon, though, as I suspect really the Board will be better.
