Finished this little guy and sent if off. It was a commission for a friend in Austin who is giving it to her father this month for his birthday. Toonces was his favorite cat and, if I have the story right, died sometime in the past year. I'm always happy to take on a commission, especially if the dog/cat was/is a beloved family pet. It is a small 3"x5"
Ampersand Art Supply scratchbord unframed. I used a bit of ink for the eyes, ears, and tag. While doing it I kept humming, 'Toonces, the driving cat.' Old Saturday Night Live skit...In the old, old days folks!
Tomorrow I will be giving 4 scratchbord workshops for the VA at the
Fayetteville Underground. Total of about 100 folks. What fun! I love teaching scratchbord...hope to be doing quite a bit of it this coming year. Stay tuned. And let me know if you need/want a scratchboard done of your pet.
