#Caturday Archive: 44

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s another cat sketch from my sketchbook archives, December 2015. It’s “Puss’n’Boot“, or Sparta Puss and my walking boot, with my foot in it. I was chilling with my feet up and Sparta Puss snuck in and made herself comfy so I scribbled her. I have three linocut prints inContinue reading “#Caturday Archive: 44”

#Caturday Archives: 42

It’s #Caturday Saturday once again. Looking through my old sketchbooks, I did quite a few scribbles of Sparta Puss back in November 2015. I used to have a very comfy IKEA Poang chair, but it was Sparta’s favourite chair as well. Here she is, keeping me off it!

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a sketch of Sparta Puss asleep back in November 2015. I did it with Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens into an A6 size leather-bound sketchbook.

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and back in November 2015 I printed up some plywood that I had carved with some stylised images of my cat, Sparta Puss, climbing a net curtain. She threw some great shapes. I based the woodcut on sketches I had made.

I’ll be running a weekend linocut course based on Dewi Bowen and Olwyn Pritchard’s book, “Hunting The Wild Megalith” on February 28th and March 1st atContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 39”

#Caturday Archives: 38

Here’s another cat sketch from April 2015. It’s Sparta Puss, using a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen into a small A6 bound sketchbook, taking it across the two pages. It’s one of my favourite sketches of her, it’s lively and dynamic. I’ll be running a weekend course based on Dewi Bowen and Olwyn Pritchard’s book,Continue reading “#Caturday Archives: 38”

It’s #Caturday Saturday and here’s a new quick sketch of Sparta Puss, just a couple of minutes so no details of her lovely Tortoiseshell markings. I struggled with her tail, I kept checking but that’s the way it was positioned, looks weird to me on the drawing.
