I like cats, anyway. :)

Painter + Photoshop, but lost track of time with this one. I assume maybe about an hour and a half.

I was thinking about this scene yesterday evening at the metro. I thought first of a fiddler on a roof (probably because I was listening to Gogol Bordello), and then of a cat on an opposite roof -- or in the street -- listening. But when I sat down to sketch it today, I couldn't get the composition right, so I cropped the cat side of the picture.

Painter is wonderful for such quick colour sketches, but on this computer it's misbehaving a bit. I particularly couldn't get Pepper Spray (one of my favourite tools for textured washes) to tilt properly. So I took the image back to Photoshop and fiddled (heh!) with it some more there.

Thank you! It is exactly half of the scene I had originally imagined, but I guess it works as it is. :)

Love it. Totally.

Sometimes, when my cat sits and stares like that, I think that he sees something I can not see, another world, magical and better than ours...

Cats are serious fun :) I never had one as a pet, but there are lot of free-roaming cats in my neighbourhood (or house cats going out in the street) and I always stop to mew at them or coddle them. In one street there's a bunch of them usually sitting in an open circle, sober as judges.

I also have a collection of funny incidents involving my neighbours' cats. In summer they come in through the balcony doors when I least expect it. Craziness ensues. :)

I know my cat loves magic!

This is a great use of "thick paint" or the effect of it digitally :D

I wonder if the cat is thinking about the meaning of live, the universe and everything :)
