Description Part of my 'Things To Do With Yesterday's Paper' series.
I have dedicated this picture to my first London cat, Major Tom. He was a great companion, but unfortunately he died very suddenly when he was only eight years old. I wanted to make something beautiful and mysterious, and also something tinged by a bit of sadness. I hope I succeeded.Β 
Media: pen and ink, ink wash, collage, digital

I purchased a print of this and it is one of my favorite pieces. It came out just perfect.

And the picture itself really embodies some of the essence of these creatures. They are curious and vulnerable. And when they leave us, it feels like such a loss.
