Illustration Friday - Sour
With all the work at the gallery with the exhibition installation, I completely forgot about Illustration Friday. A really quick graphite sketch is what I’ve got this week.
It’s inspired by the homeless Moggie that used to visit for food. (Every house we’ve had has a Ginger Tom come to visit) Took a long time before I could pick this cat up (he trusted no -one), and whenI did, he weighed less than a bird. Lots of food and cutting of knots from his coat made him feel comfortable inside, but everyone else miserable. He just did not get that he wasn’t supposed to fight with the cats, the dog, the Man….a very sour customer.
When we left the house last year, the new resident was determined that he wasn’t coming inside, but I’m not so sure…..

Okay I’m first to comment. What’s the prize? Not the cat I hope. Love your sketch……thats how I view all cats. (at first I thought it might have been a characature of …..the sour blogger)
So whats with Bigpond tonight? I hope its their site that is down and not just my blog. I couldn’t do anything in the pond. So have been blogspotting instead.
Hi Cindy and Diane, all was quiet in blogland last night, so I watched Big Brother and the silly George Clooney movie .. Love animals but, too much for me now .. when I have a bigger yard AND a helper I imagine some day to breed goats .. dreaming.
That’s a great puss sketch Cindy. I am so jealous - I’ve never had any freestyle talent. My father is quite a good artist but I obviously didn’t get any of those genes. Put a few drafting tools in my hand and I’m in mt element though.
Hi Guys!
Sorry for the delay in replying, I’ve no time to even scratch my behind!
Diane, There is sno prize, just a motivation to actually “get orf your bum and put pen to paper”, or any other media, including digital, for the nominated theme of the week.
Here’s how the Good People over at Illustration Friday promote it:
Illustration Friday is a weekly creative outlet/participatory art exhibit for illustrators and artists of all skill levels. It was designed to challenge participants creatively. We believe that every person has a little creative bone in their body. Illustration Friday just gives a no-pressure, fun excuse to use it. No clients looking for a particular thing. No one judging the outcome of the work. It’s a chance to experiment and explore and play with visual art. So welcome, novices and pros alike.
Lots of people from all over the world participate - it’s a wonderful thing.
Tim, it’s funny, but the artist I am training with this week believes it comes down to Sperm! He beat the Bricklayer and Magician sperm to the egg!
You are an artist with timber Tim! Or a guitar.
Cheers
Cindy
