#Caturday Archives 17

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a blast from the past, Sparta Puss back in 2016. She has a range of expressions but this sulky, slightly annoyed one is a favourite of hers.

It’s #Caturday Saturday once again and here’s a drawing from ages ago when I was still using Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens. I don’t really know why I stopped, I generally use ballpoint pen now in my sketchbooks. I was chilling one evening with Sparta Puss stretched out on my lap, wearing some snazzy leggingsContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 16”

Revisiting

I’ve been browsing through my files, looking at past work as I do from time to time. It’s good to get a bit of distance and take a second look at things, especially those I wasn’t too fond of first time round. I cut some small vinyl blocks, using random marks, about 4 years agoContinue reading “Revisiting”

#Caturday – Black and White.

It’s #Caturday / Saturday again and here’s the little fluffy tyrant, Sparta Puss, photographed, scanned, uploaded into Adobe Photoshop and put through the Threshold adjustment to turn her into a stark black and white image. There’s a reason I was doing this – more to come on that …..

#Caturday – Another Filter.

It’s #Caturday / Saturday again and here’s a photo of a much younger Sparta Puss that I’ve put through Adobe Photoshop’s Palette Knife filter. She’s always been a cutie.

#Caturday – Two Little Kitties

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a picture from nine years ago, before Sparta Puss became an only cat. The little fluff ball on the right is the late, great Little Ming, a one-eyed Naughty Tortie rescue cat with heaps of Tortitude. Ming died about 4 years ago, at a ripe old age. I’ve putContinue reading “#Caturday – Two Little Kitties”

#Caturday – A Happy Accident.

It’s Saturday #Caturday again! Sparta Puss jumped onto the table opposite me the other day and sat in front of a vase of tulips I treated myself to. They’re in that falling-over stage and when she sat down, she was framed beautifully by their purple flowers in front of olive green curtains. A happy accident.Continue reading “#Caturday – A Happy Accident.”

It’s Cold!

It’s cold, freezing tonight, but this one is snug and warm indoors. Please look out for your pets in this awful weather and keep them in xxx Here’s Sparta Puss, through a Posterise filter in Adobe Photoshop.

Having A Doodle

Having a bit of a play with my Inktense blocks by Derwent onto black paper. I wanted to see if they would actually show up on a dark background and they did, really strong coverage too. I was just having a doodle, it’s not meant to look like anything.

#Caturday Archives 15

It’s #Caturday / Saturday again. Once upon a time, Sparta Puss was a little kitten. A naughty little kitten. And small enough to run up the curtains. One day, I caught her soft-furnishing shenanigans on camera as she clawed her way up and down some voiles with a spiral pattern. I made a series ofContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 15”
