This #Caturday Saturday, here the silhouette of little rescue cat Bill on top of a silkscreen print based on sketches of pigeons in Swansea. I merged the drawings with some text I had written about the experience of drawing the pigeons, watching them from the window of Waterstone’s cafe, that used to be the old Carlton cinema. I cut the image of Bill from some very heavy textured paper that I recycled and painted black. The pigeons used to sit on the large letters of the “WOOLWORTHS” sign, it was always lit up so the letters were warm. When Woollies closed, the signage was removed and pigeons never sat there again.

I'm an artist / printmaker / scribbler. I love drawing and all the geeky stuff associated with printmaking, working in a figurative style. I live in Wales with husband and demented cats. And my real name is Rose Davies :D View more posts
