261 - TWO COOL CATS - DAVE EDWARDS - COLOURED PENCILS - 2009
I drew our two cats in pencil and then decided to make them cool cats :)
I outlined the picture in fineliners before using coloured pencils on it.
Here’s a poem I wrote about them. Mitch is the hairy one who leaves fluff all over the carpets.
MITCH AND MAO
We are two little pussycats,
Our names are Mitch and Mao,
We’re really rather haughty;
In our presence you must bow.
Our humans truly love us,
They cater to our needs.
We humour them with mewings
And purr when we get feeds.
We sleep upon their duvets
And scratch upon their door
And one of us leaves lots of fluff
Upon their nice clean floor.
We sew not, neither do we spin,
We sleep and eat and poo
And once week, if in the mood,
We catch a mouse or two.

Otherwise known as the Odd Couple :) Mao is the lazy one and Mitch is the mad one. Mao will sit on my shoulders and sleep on our bed. Mitch has a mad half hour when he will fly around the house like a demon possessed. We love them both.

Dave, this is….... well I’m at a loss for words….... Inigmatic, that’s it, I think. This is really a great piece of work…and the poem is too cute. Did you write that poem? You have a a very imaginative psyche to do work like this .You need to write children’s books and illustrate them with your fantastic art.
Kate Eller
Look above …they are thanking you just for joining the group!

lovely, lovely use of colour. I see my cat Tinkerbelle in this.
BLYTHART replied
Tinkerbelle’s a lovely name for a cat. Did you see my poem about our cats (above)?

How come you have a wild animal in the lounge when you have two cats? did the traps not work?
Great picture by the way !!!

BLYTHART replied
We’ve just spent ages searching for Mitch (on your right) because we don’t like him playing out at night in case he gets into fights. He is a tease. He runs into the house and then runs out to hide again :)
KristineNora
LOL It is good for you ..he keeps you young : ] k

ha-ha :)
