Monday Morning and a Cat Drinking Cider

-
Have you seen the new Avatar film yet? I didn't think it was my sort of film if you know what I mean but everyone that I knew that had been to see it had gone back to see it again, so I was intrigued to know what all the fuss was about.
I did enjoy it!

Other news: Here's my illustration of a cat drinking cider in the latest edition of Britchop Magazine.
Now to get to work on the Illustration Friday topic. The word is 'wilderness' and I have trees on my mind already........!

Haven't seen Avatar yet, but there sure are alot of people talking about it... love your drawings here, both for Avatar and the cat with a jug of cider... I was wondering what the article was about that the drawing was with ? Something on the dangers of drunken felines in automobiles ?

Thanks April! :)

Thanks Owen, you're almost right with your guess about the article! I used my artistic license to put the cider into the cat instead of the gas tank (as in the story!);)

Hi Nicola, I'm glad you enjoyed it too! We saw it in 3D but other people I've spoken to who have seen it in both formats, said they prefered it in 2D!

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
