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

Thank you. Yes, it has an eerie atmosphere. It's probably because it's tinged with a bit of sadness. It's a picture I dedicated to my first London cat, Major Tom. He died about ten years ago.Β

This one was very difficult. I spent a lot of time constructing this one.Β

Thank you, Vanessa. I've been a Bowie fan for many years, and I also had a black and white tomcat called Major Tom. He died very suddenly about ten years ago, and this picture is dedicated to him.

Isn't this the one you were supposed to buy on a t-shirt? I seem to remember you mixed it up with Paper Boat, which is also a favourite of mine. I'm glad you like it.

Your right 
You know its funny I said to myself, that name "Paper Boat" sounds
familiar, just couldnt remember the photo looking like that. I love it.Β
I did get mixed up your right 
It was hard to choose.Β

I think this picture 'Paper Moon' is my favourite of the series. 'Paper Boat', the image on your t-shirt, is a close second. I've recently made a colour version of Paper Boat and will be posting it here on Deviant in a few weeks.

Oh my goodness I am totally mixed up
moon and paper boat. I look forward to seeing the color version
of Paper Boat when you post it

If you scroll down my Facebook page, you should be able to see it. I posted it there a few days ago.

Hooray. I'll be posting it on Deviant in a few weeks. By the way, the image I downloaded on here for Paper Moon is a high resolution image. I downloaded the hi-res by mistake and can't work out how to alter it without deleting it by mistake. It doesn't really matter, but what I was going to say is this - because it's hi-res, you should be able to download a high quality copy of this on your computer. You could print it yourself and it should look good. For free!

Oh cool that is awesome I just downloaded it. Thank you
Andy. My sister has high quality paper so she can print itΒ
out for me. Thank you 
to seeing the other one when you post it to DA.

Hooray! It should look good printed onto quality A4 paper.

And an A4 picture frame shouldn't cost too much to buy.

Yes I can get a reasonable price frame

Good to hear. I like the autumn. It's one of my favourite times of the year. Not so keen on winter though.Β

Thank you very much. I'm glad you like it. Out of all the pictures in the series, this is the one I spent the most time on. In fact, I think it took me at least three days solid.Β

Ha! But as Dark Stripe Shadow Paw points out below, there is no atmosphere in space.

I once had a cat called Major Tom. I have dedicated this picture to him.

Actually, I think Major Tom is experiencing a lack of atmosphere...
