A Caricature of Lady Gaga

I'm not a big fan of Lady Gaga, but I do find her costumes, wigs and accessories quite interesting. I thought it would be fun to do a cartoon of her and it was.

I saw this and I thought I would add it as a curiosity. And I thought my cats, Bella and Sylar were different. lol
Years ago I got a siamese kitten from a breeder for free, because she had a white paw and was considered imperfect. She was a great cat and she lived to 17 years.
We named her Lucky, because we always said she was lucky she wasn't disposed of as a kitten. She was part of the family and a good companion.

A Monkey Surfing on a Shark

This was a pencil sketch colored with my computer.
I had this idea for a while, just got around to doing it.

Two pencil sketches. Text and greyscale added with computer.

These were pencil sketches, scanned and colored with the computer. I don't have too much to say about them.

This one was an idea I had while looking at some old photographs from a Russian play called "The Bluebird"

This one was just a joke for an online forum that I belong to.

I kinda liked this one. Just thought I would share. Chap Hop.

Cat sketching gone to Devo.

The other day I finally felt like sketching a bit. The cats were with me and I had the music on. We were all enjoying some great music from Devo and suddenly my sketching went awry. :)
This is the first sketch page.

This is the second sketch which I inked and colored with Photoshop.

Last, I saw this Youtube video after I did these sketches, so I thought I would add it. Apparently I am not the first to link cats with Devo.

Skull and Roses birthday card and a skeleton sketch.

Hello to anyone stopping by. My sister in law tells me it's Jerry Garcia's birthday today, August 1st. It will also be my sister in law's husband's birhday on the 3rd of this month also.
I haven't drawn any skulls or roses, so I decided to do both on a birthday card. In keeping with the Grateful Dead theme.
Mostly free hand and Photoshop.

I liked doing the skull and got this image in my head, so I decided to work it out and see what it would look like.

This is a photo of our cat Sylar that I thought I would share. He is quite a character!

Last a video from the Grateful Dead movie.

More pencil sketching Japanese Bon Adori dancer, One from a dream and more.

Thanks for stopping in! I am still sketching and drawing as I am able to and thought I would share these.

I had a chance to take some pictures of some Bon Adori dancers recently. This is one of the ladies. One more detailed sketch and one of the same girl from a different angle and I think as a cartoon.

This one is from a dream I had. All the people on the street had huge hands and the bottom half of their bodies were slightly larger than normal. Who knows why you dream what you dream?

The top sketch on this next sketch page is one this one is from a video I saw on YouTube that I thought was pretty funny. I will add the video to this post also. "What American English Sounds Like to Non English Speakers"

This is the same video I mentioned, "What American English Sounds Like to Non English Speakers".




This last one I think is a bit risque, but not over the line, so I thought I would include it. It is from a public domain source I found.

Some more sketches, elf girls

So a couple of weekends ago I had occasion to see some young ladies dressed as elves. So my sketching turned into a plot of sorts, (as some of them do).
Not great I admit, but I wanted to get my musings down to remember.

Yet another pencil sketch of my male cat, Sylar

I've just been practicing my drawing lately. Here is a cartoon of one of my two cats.

Two more cat sketches, colored with Photoshop

A lot has been happening here, so I haven't had much time. But I did these and thought I would show them.

This one is the same line drawing as the previous post. I just scanned the line drawing before I painted it. Then colored the scanned line drawing with Photoshop.

This sketch was originally just going to be a gas mask, I got carried away.
I used the easiest coloring scheme I could think of to color it. All shades of olive green.
It's weird, though, because I am basically a pacifist. Sometimes your mind takes you to strange places!

Bella the cat watercolor pencil and ink sketch on Aquabee paper

This was done in a 5in x 7in Co-Mo sketch pad. It is ink with watercolor pencil washes.
