It’s Saturday so it’s #Caturday on many social media platforms. I’ve got cat sketches going back years and years so I thought I’d dig them out and do a regular Saturday / Caturday archive. The scribbles above are of my friend’s late kitty, Scooter, and below is mine and Husb’s late legend Ming The Merciless.Continue reading “#Caturday Archives”

Sparta Says …. What A Lazy Monkey!
Sparta Puss says “Nadolig Llawen” which is Welsh for “Merry Christmas”. She’s a bit late but this lazy monkey has been having a couple of days off and didn’t get round to posting it until today. She is not impressed. I hope that everyone had a Cool Yule and plenty of food, presents and rest.Continue reading “Sparta Says …. What A Lazy Monkey!”
Looking Back (With A Kitten)
Oh the glamour of being an artist. Sorting through my drawers. I decided to spend a bit of time this evening organising my plans chest, which meant rediscovering some of my older work. It was good, remembering how I’d done things a while back. This mixed media piece started as a drawing with a lifeContinue reading “Looking Back (With A Kitten)”
Someone Else’s Cat
Husb and I had a socially distanced visit to some friends over the recent Bank Holiday. Their lives are graced by a magnificent Bengal cat. Unforunately, he was socially distancing as well so I wasn’t able to have a cuddle with him. I took some photos and had a quick scribble this evening, with FaberContinue reading “Someone Else’s Cat”
#Catitude
Greetings Trained Monkeys. Sparta Puss here. The hairless apes have left the pooter box unattended again. I’ve had a fun 24 hours. Last night, I hid in the rhubarb patch when the she-simian was looking for me to get me to come in – I’m curfewed from dusk because I’m a murderer. She ran allContinue reading “#Catitude”
Sparta Puss Here
Greetings trained monkeys. Sparta Puss here. I’ve managed to get my paws on the pooter box while my hairless apes are preparing themselves for something called a Zoom Quiz. Idiots. I thought you’d like to see me. I’m posing with something called a buk. It is a special buk that the she-monkey pokes with aContinue reading “Sparta Puss Here”
Kitty Scribbles
Had one of those bitty days today. I carried on carving small lino blocks and as a bit of light relief I had a quick scribble with willow charcoal as Sparta Puss was lazing around. She has a houseful of beds, comfy chairs, cushions as well as a sunny garden bench with a blanket justContinue reading “Kitty Scribbles”
My Cat Is A Chonky Cat
It’s pouring down and there are floods locally, so I’m not going on my government-sanctioned lockdown walk today. Which means I won’t be going to the park to draw some dramatic trees. So I grabbed some willow charcoal and scribbled my cat instead. Looking at her objectively, I think the vet might be right, sheContinue reading “My Cat Is A Chonky Cat”
Carving And A Wriggly Cat
More of the same today, designing text for my little lino blocks then transferring and cutting. These are numbers 19 and 20 so I think I might stop cutting for a while and get on with printing them onto fabric and making masks. And I did another quick charcoal sketch of Sparta Puss. She wasContinue reading “Carving And A Wriggly Cat”
Carving Blocks And The Charcoal Cat.
More of the same today, transferring words to little lino blocks, in reverse, and carving them. I’ve compiled a list of words and phrases as we’ve travelled through the pandemic lockdown. Eventually I’ll have a whole load of these printed up and made into masks. I’ve cut 18 so far, there’ll be at least anotherContinue reading “Carving Blocks And The Charcoal Cat.”
