Horrible weather this morning, very dark and pouring with rain and I really didn’t want to get up. Husb kept nagging me but I was grasping at any excuse to stay put – soooo cosy. Little Ming jumped onto the bed and padded around to make herself comfy so I grabbed my little watercolour padContinue reading “I Love My Bed”

Apes And The Psychokitteh
Greetings, Monkeys. Sparta Puss here. I have control of the pooter box while the hairless apes are chillaxin’. I’ve been hearing a lot about a dog called Pavlov who trained his fur-less monkeys to give him food whenever he pressed a lever. Not bad going for a dog, but a bit too complicated, I think.Continue reading “Apes And The Psychokitteh”
Wonky Feet
Carrying on with my mini-theme of drawing everyday things from a different angle, I curled up on my chair this evening and drew the view down my legs, with my cat, Sparta, curled up next to my wonky feet. There was some serious foreshortening going on and it’s not a flattering portrayal of my gamsContinue reading “Wonky Feet”
Sparta Says……
I thought I’d put the psychokitty on a greetings card. So all the very best for the holiday season. 🙂 ps the drawing is by husb, using a digital programme on his laptop, don’t know which – probably Adobe Photoshop. And I photoshopped in the background, snowflakes and text. Inspired by the mad-as-a-box-of-frogs Sparta.
Mayhem In Waiting…
After the excitement of blogging about Iceland and wrestling my computer back from Sparta the psychokitteh, I’ve settled down into some domestic normality. Husb and our little great-niece put the Xmas tree up this evening and I sat and scribbled – and issued directions. I sketched some of the tree and baubles and noticed someoneContinue reading “Mayhem In Waiting…”
Felix Envy
Hello fur-less monkeys. Sparta Puss here. I’ve got my paws on the pooter box again. The feeble-minded apes that I choose to live with went away to an icy land last week – in the middle of winter! I mean, honestly! They paid to be cold when they could have stayed home with us andContinue reading “Felix Envy”
Scribbling Kittehs
Constant practice is the only way to improve skills; that’s why I draw every day (nearly). It can get a bit boring though, especially on soggy wet Sundays like today when there’s not much incentive to get out and find something to sketch. That’s where the cats come in handy. I find them difficultContinue reading “Scribbling Kittehs”
That! Pesky! Kitteh!
My cat Sparta sometimes hijacks my computer and writes her own blog. This really annoys me because apart from the mucky paw prints on the keyboard, her blogs get about three times as many readers as mine! The CHEEK of it! And she manages to creep into my artwork too. I was working withContinue reading “That! Pesky! Kitteh!”
…The Cats Will Play
Hiya. Sparta Puss here. I’ve managed to get my paws on the Pooter Box again while the fur-less monkeys aren’t paying attention. I’ve been having such fun with one-eyed Ming The Merciless who shares the idiot apes with me. The simian slackers went for a day out yesterday and, well, to paraphrase a well-knownContinue reading “…The Cats Will Play”
Fat Knees
Was on my feet all day at Swansea Print Workshop, editioning some photopolymer plates and PVC block prints. I couldn’t wait to soak in a hot bubble bath when I got home and then settled down for a night with the TV and newspaper. Except the cat, Sparta, took over my legs and IContinue reading “Fat Knees”
