Stargazing

Hi everyone,

Once again, I'm slightly behind on my Illustration Friday drawings, but with good reason: I've been organizing my computer files, a tedious, tedious task....I see light at the end of the tunnel. Wait, maybe I'm hallucinating.

Whenever I look over the drawings I have done since 2006, "Glamour" sticks out as incomplete. I don't remember anything in particular that distracted me from finishing it. Was I rushing to post it by the end-of-the-week deadline? Or, did I actually believe I was done, leaving The Mother Kitty in this unobserved moment on a floating red carpet with massive stars and pastel asterisks (gasp!) glowing overhead in a white sky? Maybe I had a cold that week.

Glamour, IllustrationFriday.com topic of the week, posted January 27, 2006

I originally planned to use this week's topic, Star Gazing, to finish what I started in 2006 filling in all the white space surrounding The Kitties. But, then I reconsidered. I decided to draw a new version. After all, that was 2006; this is 2010. And, you know, The Mother Kitty loves to attend fancy events.

So, here's a different glamorous night: Of course, The Mother Kitty is the star, and Simon's along for the ride. It must be the Kitty Cannes Film Festival. Where else can she get away with that tiara and a living Siamese fur?

The Mother Kitty is ready for her closeup.
