Chairman Mao pins for sale along Dontai Lu (Antique Street) in Shanghai.
Not the Chinese dictator, but our lovely cat Mao :-) Here is the photo I took for reference – I am sure you’ll agree I didn’t just do a straight copy. The background is from my imagination by the way. As this seems popular I have decided to offer cards of it for sale. I have also uploaded a better scan. As of 7th September 2009, this picture has been Featured five times, favourited sixty-one times and received 1,250 viewings … thanks everyone FEATURED BY ART APPRECIATION – 26th May 2008 FEATURED BY FINE ARTS GROUP – 4th June 2008 FEATURED BY WATERCOLOUR PAINTINGS GROUP – 28th August 2008 FEATURED BY POP ART GROUP – 14th August 2009 FEATURED BY JUST WATERCOLOURS GROUP – 7th September 2009
I adored this man. I took so many photos of him. He was so inviting and welcoming and happy. He still wears his ‘mao suit’ and has an ornate shrine to the formar chairman in his bare house.
Rolling On the Floor Laughing MAO… and it’s still work safe.

After the Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s poster. The lower text is translated from the original Chinese. Obviously, that on the Little Red Book is not =) This is not a cut-and-paste, as you’ll see when you zoom in.

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.

My friend suggested that Mao would make a great member of the rock band KISS. So here we have… Mao as Gene Simmons! Although I think he’d probably only be a drummer in real life.
Our cat Mao puts up with a lot from our younger hyperactive cat, who wants to play all the time. As a reward, I have depicted Mao with a halo of flowers :) Coloured pencils and fineliner pens. FEATURED BY FINE ARTS GROUP – 14th August 2009
Someone had to do it… Made with the help of my good friend Photoshop for A T-shirt Revolution’s “Social Conscience” challenge. It’s probably a bit closer to “Socialist Conscience” but I figure “hey, close enough.”
