Cats and Halloween





'Ghost Kitties'
Prismacolor Pencil on Moleskine Sketchbook Paper.



So, it's Halloween.  Halloween hasn't ever really been a thing here in Australia.  It's only starting to catch on the past couple of years I reckon.  I really appreciate the meaning and history of it but the fun part of it is great too. 

I liked the idea of cat ghosts.  For some reason I feel like my cat is a reincarnation of my first pony, Tina.  Their personalities are so similar it's scary sometimes.

Hope everyone has a safe and spooky Halloween! (Or not spooky if you don't like spooky.)

Special







Prismacolor Pencil on A4 Moleskine Journal Paper



Hi there!  Yes, can't keep away from cats, I don't know why, considering horses are my first love.  How this drawing came about is a bit of a long story.  I wasn't feeling well and my cat had turned into Veruca Salt and I seemed to be surrounded by 'special snowflake' behaviour in other people which in turn made me confront my own 'snowflake syndrome' issues. This made me think of that great 'You are not special!...' line from Fight Club(and chuckle to myself).  And anyway... this drawing popped into my head and then all the frustration inside me was resolved and all was well with the world.  Phew... the end.
