Stalker Kitteh mug

A DA fellow was so nice and took some pics.














Cool, isn't it?
Seems like they solved the color problem (mine turned out a tiny bit yellowish but that was like half a year ago).
I still have two unfinished mug illustrations on my computer (Sir Bogard and Hippo) and hope I can finish next week. All current jobs done which means time for private painting again. Hurray! I like working for projects but those kept me away from my own stuff for quite a while. O_o;

Stalker Mug can be found here btw. :B

Cutie-Pied!

Ty and me went to the vet today with Hannibal and Treadle.
Super nice and Hannibal didn't mew-mew all the time. Putting them into the box while sleeping seems to work. Kiki never was fond of boxes but those two seem to like it- kinda.
The vet oh and ahhed at Hannibal and talked along...

"Oh a little red tom-cat, well female red cats are so rare. He looks good anyway.. let's check..Oh!" Silence. "Well, as I said red females ARE rare but you happen to have one."

Uh.. what? "Should we change the name to Hanni in the system?"

Ty and me exchanged a large stupid grin. "Yes."

So Hannibal turned out to be a Hanni (honestly, I always thought "well, he's small... can't see anything because he's too young."). Cutie-Pie and Mini-Amor (Treadle weighs a lot more) survived the check and we enjoy a not too hot lazy afternoon before I start working on a mag cover again.
Hope I can finish tomorrow since I plan to update my homepage next week with all that stuff I did within the last weeks. Except those sock motives i did.. o_O ... winter season items.. I'll take pics when those are available though. Weird job... really.

all time favourite... rully!



I have no idea if I mentioned that book but it's one of my all-time favourites. If you like nerdy outfits, ridiculous behaviour and awesome writing you will love it.

You can read the synopsis at Amazon -though I would like to add that it doesn't even cover for 10% all the things happening in that way too thin book.
Hippie parents who explain the importance of pelvis muscle training to your fellow students in the cafeteria, wearing ugly clothes and doing water gym with 40+ ladies while you originally wanted to do Pilates are just some things everybody will keep in mind.

and because I won't stop annoying you with cutie-pie pics... just two of the kittens as well :)

Day 2: I know what a toilet is... theoretically....

They finally found out what a sofa is made for...except Hannibal... he doesn't understand the difference of "this is the sofa- sleep" and "this is the toilet- pee" ... hope he gets it within the next days =_=















And again they move too fast... but you can see: Cutie-Pies!















Amazing what cats can do with only 7 weeks...

Hannibal & Treadle- life in a zoo

Yesterday Ty and me picked up the kitten. 90 kilometers to drive and a bundle of "meww,mewwwww!" in a box  on my lap.
 One hour never felt sooo long. Nerves: wrecked.
It's impossible to get a proper pic of both when they are dashing around. Therefore one pic with nasty flashlight.
The grey striped buddy is Treadle, the little red one Hannibal. Treadle is shy and mostly a copycat of Hannibal's actions. His favourite game though: digging for hours in the cat's toilet like "Bob The Builder".
O_o

At least they seem to have fun. Hope I can do all things in time anyways, deadlines + cats = doh!

in graphics...


How I feel .... it's actually a side note I send out today with some documents. The person who got this whill hopefully be as amused as Ty was when he stuck all the papers into the envelope.


People found another one in São Paulo, Brazil... oh my... epic fail...

not only chubs...

... somehow i feel weird when I draw anything walking on two legs. I know other people can do better. And for sure my enthusiasm is a bit lower than with "bubble pink elephant with glitter sparkle you get what I mean".
Anyways, it's good to draw kids and if they like it: even better. Part of a sketch for the scouts (yes, a lot lately). Lotsa grassland with a summer setting. Weeee!
Sketch partially done on simple paper with a colour pencil. Corrections and coloration will be done in Photoshop.
