Let Sleeping Cats Lie: 2

It’s my chair. Mine. You’d never know it! Sparta Puss won’t give me my chair back! Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens into an A6 sketchbook.

A couple of quick kitty scribbles done in Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens and charcoal into a little A6 sketchbook. Ming The Merciless is one of my favourite models. She’s an elderly one-eyed rescued cat who is nice as pie until she sees the cat basket because that only means one thing, a visit toContinue reading “Quick Kitty Scribbles”

Let Sleeping Cats Lie

Says it all, really 😀 Sparta Puss in my A5 lined cat sketchbook, The Cat’s Meow Journal, by Peter Pauper Press using Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens, sizes S and B.

My Journey with Bobbit

It’s been 4 years since I started blogging and I’ve done just over 1400 posts. My aim was to blog a drawing a day and I’ve more or less done it, so that’s around 1400 drawings. A fair amount of art. My very first blog was about my cat, Bobbit and one of my drawingsContinue reading “My Journey with Bobbit”

In Betweeny

We have one of our young nephews on a sleepover and I scribbled him as he watched a film. He’s at that in betweeny age, just leaving boyhood but not quite adolescent, so he has this little skinny, gangly, Bambi body with a large head wobbling on top. His face is starting to fill outContinue reading “In Betweeny”

The Bird Is Back!

Richard The Bird has come back for a holiday. His trained monkeys are off on their travels again so he’s having a vacation with us and the kittehs. He has already established who’s boss and we hairless apes are definitely bottom of the pecking order. He’s just taken a bath in his waterbowl and peltedContinue reading “The Bird Is Back!”

Reclaimed

Some time ago I bought some second hand silkscreens. They had photochemical stencils on them and needed to be cleaned so that I can re-use them. They had been originally coated with Speedball Diazo photoscreen emulsion so I had to use Speedball’s remover. I poured a little remover onto one side and quickly spread itContinue reading “Reclaimed”

Pre Teen Lethargy

Our pre-teen nephew is having a sleepover with us. He’s annexed the large settee with the best view of the television and installed himself for the duration. He’s at a funny stage of development with his face starting to assume adult proportions, but still quite squished up in a large head which sort of wobblesContinue reading “Pre Teen Lethargy”

Ratstein!

Sparta Puss here. I managed to get my paws on the pooter box again. My trained monkeys are still busy faffing around after the rat I brought in to entertain myself. Turns out the wily rodent is some kind of genius; the stupid simians have nicknamed it Ratstein after some supposedly clever hoomin scientist. AsContinue reading “Ratstein!”

The Dog House

Greetings hairless apes. Sparta Puss here. It’s been a long time. My trained monkeys have been keeping me away from the pooter box but I managed to distract them for a while. It’s Spring and every year I bring them some rats to play with. Such fun. The she-ape jumps on chairs and squeals andContinue reading “The Dog House”
