cat lady + a bit of process
Tuesday, March 20, 2012
And one more change ... bear with me, I didn't like those big eyes - this is more "me" ;-)
Cat Lady - 8x10 giclee print of original mixed media collage available here
Who am I kidding ?
Are you a cat lady ?
I know I am ... there's no doubt about it !!
& of course, dog lady also - big time
Bottom illustration is the actual finished collage I wasn't really happy with the painted kraft background so in Photoshop I painstakingly removed it all (hence the late blog post). I like the white background better ... your thoughts ?? Then ... later stewing & brewing, Miss Picky Picky the eyes were bothering me so I made them small & cuter (I think). Top image is the final winner. Thanks for all the comments, votes & opinions. I know there are many cat ladies here.

ReplyDeleteThe second posting is clean and white but alas the first posting is a bit more rustic and lived in which I would imagine a cat lady's house would be - non?
Kitty, USA and the gang of 3

i confess i always like a rougher, more rustic look, so i like the original best!! and yes, i'm certainly a cat lady :)
ReplyDeleteI was so crazy about the kitties that I didn't even notice the difference at first. I love it! If I had to choose, I would go with the white. I love those kitties!

ReplyDeleteAre you familiar with "Simon's Cat"? They're these hilarious animated shorts - 2 or 3 mins long each - about a man and his cat(s). Try googling "Simon's Cat - Cat Man Do". Enjoy! - n

{posting to you tomorrow...watch for it! ;) }
I like things a bit messy so my preference is for the brushy background. Good call on the change to the cuter eyes.
