Greetings and welcome to my studio. What do you think of my new beret? I've just finished work on some new masterworks honoring tabby cats cos today is National Tabby Day. I don't consider myself a tabby but I do have tabby stripes on my tailio and legs. Somewhere my cat mom must have had an affair with a tabby. I wonder if it was Tuna.
I don't know how many times I tell TW that people click on this blog to see ME and not the cats who came before me. Every time I feature one of them, my numbers fall through the roof. So what does she do? she tells me that today would be a great time to feature the two tabbies who have graced her life: Chizzy and Nicky. Both pieces were done in Photoshop with two different digital drawing actions. They kinda remind me more of cartoons than drawings but to me those cats are cartoon characters.
Big Tym aka Chizzy
Nicky
I told TW it looks like Nicky's either blowing a big wad of bubble gum or has a big, pink clown's nose on but she said it's the ear of his shmousy toy. If you say so, Woman. What do you think?
Thanks to Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty for hosting the Caturday Art Blog Hop so I can mess around with Photoshop and all the cool online apps that are so easy a cat can do them.
Lovely CK! I must say that I also thought the bubble gum thing before I read your comment on it. Callie has some tabby markings on her too in her orange patches. She's a little bit of everything... a Calico Tortie Tabby Tuxedo cat. I feel like I'm missing something there but I think that's it!
ReplyDeleteI think it is awesome to feature the kitties who came before. My human is sad that she does not have that many photos of the cat before Sparkle, so I can't share much about her.
ReplyDeleteSuch great art works! It's lovely to see Chizzy and Nicky. I agree, it does look Nicky was blowing bubble gum :-)
ReplyDeleteThose were terrific CK and you know us tabbies love you!
ReplyDeleteYou are a master in artwork, CK..must be all in the baret if you ask me :D I think Nicky has a binky....no, no, not me, but the other one...in her mouse..th as she looks like a baby :) Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend :) <3

Sorry, CK... but we love seeing the cats that came before you. Just as long as you're here too!
ReplyDeleteNow let's get some kind of Tuxedo Appreciation Day on the calendar, ok?
-Katie
They were very pretty kitties. I can see the mouse in the photo. And you look nice in your beret.
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of Tabbies may I thank you CK for dedicating a post to us - however I do believe if you have a tailio and leg stripies you definitely have some Tab in you my friend!!! Thanks for showing us the "before CK" kitties - they are beautifully striped. LOVE your red beret - it's your color!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sammy
CK I think that was really nice of you to share your blog today with the kitties you came before!!! Happy Tabby Day to all tabbies!
ReplyDeleteWow, Nicky is smart. Imagine he can blow bubbles oh right that was his toy. You shouldn't have told us, we would have thought he was so clever. You share nicely CK.

Nice to meet the cats who came before you. Happy Tabby Cat Day to your angels ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteWhat cuties! That's very nice of you to share your time with them, CK.
ReplyDeleteMy kitty is not artfully treated but she is arty. Look carefully in my studio area to see her.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice of you to share your blog with Chizzy and Nicky today, CK! Every Cat Matters!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tabby Day CK. We love your post!
ReplyDeleteC.K., sometimes you just have to indulge the peeps. Even though your two tabby predecessors were featured, you (in your stylish beret) were front and center presenting them. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
