Gray Cat

I took a photograph of my very handsome cat, Gunther. The shape of his giant backside and the question mark of tail inspired me to make a print of him.

Heaven knows the last thing this world needs is more Cat Art. I know that.

The first drawing kind of sucked. Too Patrick Nagel, with lines that were too slick and pointy. The very, very last thing this world needs is Bad Cat Art. I refined the drawing and eventually got a drawing that I felt reflected the nice comfy curves and the solidity of my fat cat along with pattern of the fur down his spine.

I created a two color serigraph with silver and black ink. The silver looks more like rich graphite than a shiny metallic. Gunther's eyes were handpainted in yellow-green watercolor.

Talking Alligator

I have to blame cell phone ring tones on this. I'm fairly cell-phone-phobic, but I had to replace my business phone. That resulted in new ringtones and the discovery of Schnappi! I downloaded the theme song to this German kid's cartoon about a baby alligator, because the tune is infectiously fun.

That reminded me of my Talking alligator cards. I loved that drawing. I adapted the gator to be talking. What would an alligator say? Heck knows, but I figured the sounds would have sharp points.

Since he's smiling, I figure he's telling a colorful anecdote. Or a joke. Or bragging.

Hungry Ghost

This one-color serigraph started when I learned about the concept of The Hungry Ghost and felt compelled to draw one. The insatiable ghost has a itty bitty mouth and a giant stomach. To represent that, I drew its GI tract. It had to end somewhere. Then I thought, "What's ghost poop?" Uh, puffs of air.

I still giggle at this. The whole lesson is not to live like a hungry ghost, but we can also enjoy a little scatalogical humor. No?

Principal & Shaw

A two print set. These collaged serigraphs started when I found bundle of cigar bands on eBay. I chose "El Principal" and "Shaw's Good Advice," wanting to turn them into belts. What kind of men would wear them? What would they say? Here's my answer.

Principal is the long-winded gadfly with effusive, complicated gilded speech. In contrast, the cowboy Shaw is plainspoken.
