I can't decide
whether to draw a picture of my lovely (passed away) cat or just to leave it for a bit.

I'd like to do her justice.

I think you should draw your cat,
that would be ace. I wish I could draw.

I know no-one here cares about comic relief
but when they repeat a performance where a character vomits because a cake is made by "Indira Patel", is that ok?

I'm confused. It seems to ruin the point a bit. They're plugging their DVD too now.

its a scam.
africa is not a poor country, it has diamonds and etc. I still say we should be allowed to legally hunt and shoot the children, they're gonna die anyways! why not shoot them with high caliber rifles?

yeah, that's not the point.
they should cut a big channel across africa. make some greenery.

I wasn't happy with the shading, so I've left it for a bit
The unfinished version is in my profile, I'll fix it when I understand fully why its not quite right.

You have much skill.

2007 Pew Pew Pew Lasers
Dead feline on copy paper with B&Q stainless steel nail.

This piece is from the artist's Corpses sequence. It expresses the transience of all life, focussing on the special bond of the individual to their pet.

Might be a stupid question
Are you going to draw from memory or from photos?
I would suggest leaving it for a day or two, but that's just my opinion.
(, Fri 16 Mar 2007, 23:53, archived)
Photos
I've got loads.

I think I'll buy a nice easel and draw her on A3. I'll spend weeks doing it, and hang it on the wall.

She had a sister who died similarly when she was only about 3 months old, so I'll include her too.

Good idea
It's probably also good to let yourself get over things a bit before you start on something like that. I imagine that you are probably currently simultaneously feeling loss and anger, so you can either run with it at the moment or wait until later, after the emotions have subsided a bit.

Actually, considering that, and as long as it's not a problem to you, I would say "Go ahead and paint now, while the emotion is strong, then look at it in a couple of weeks,"

That is not meant to be anywhere near as cold as it reads.
