Wood

Lately, I've been thinking about how Lily's world is the confines of my small apartment. Who knows what happened during the first seven months of her life, but since then, she's only rarely stepped out of our front door into the main hallway.

Sometimes, I wonder if she'd like to move into a more spacious place with more windows and scenery. Or, maybe she'd like to sharpen her claws on a giant tree instead of my furniture. When I suggest these things to her, though, she just stares at me and licks her foot.

Golden

Hi everyone,

I just finished this one recently... Tyrone made his way to the top, of course. He's a climber.

This illustration was partly inspired by another piece of golden artwork that I have on my living room wall, which is made completely of fabric by local artist Jamie Langhoff. 

Check out her website, Seeing in Fabric, to see more of her amazing work. 

Best, 

Ghennet + Hailesh's Tree

Hi everyone,

This week's Illustration Friday topic is "tree." Here's a tree, but I didn't draw it for Illustration Friday. Does it count if I get inspired by the topic a few weeks in advance?

In September, I created this drawing as a wedding gift for my friend Ghennet and her husband Hailesh. Congratulations!!! 

I was inspired to draw this tree for them as they plant their own roots and begin this new chapter of their lives together. Here's how it came out:

They like it. Yay!

Heights

In her day, The Mother Kitty loved climbing the tree outside of our garage. Climbing down never concerned her...until she was already up there. Don't worry, Dad always came to her rescue.
