The greatest cat that ever lived, pencil & digital, A4
An illustration for my short story in the YA anthology Rich and Rare, about a mother and daughter who move to a run-down apartment building and adopt a local cat (normal sized – the illustration is metaphorical rather than literal). It's about the way that animals can 'rescue' people just by being present.
Cheers all. The story is in a YA anthology called rich and rare, see a recent post. It will also run in a German newspaper (the name escapes me) before too long.
I listened to you & Michael Cathcart discussing this drawing on Books & Arts. it was the repeat at 2.00 am. Of course I thought of Punji, of ShortBlack, of Harimou, of those things. It's a beautiful drawing. It makes my heart ache.
I live on the top floor of a 300 year old house. There is a jackdaw on the veranda who is my friend.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great little haiku poem of its own.
