Illustration Friday: Obsession


I know what you're thinking.
This lady has a serious cat obsession, right?
The thing is she loves orange tabbies because they look so good with her pink bowls and shoes and that stunning polka-dot dress, but what she's obsessing about at this very moment is how disturbed she is by that green ball of yarn that is messing with her mind.
Who the hell brought that in??

I haven't disappeared completely! My computer hasn't been behaving and I'm still trying to find my mojo. I'll be popping in to see you soon.
Happy weekend!!

Anne Huskey-Lockard said...

Love this! :-D
I'm sure my mojo is on a long vacation and is debating whether to return or not.....damned moody thing it is!
Maybe they are vacationing together?
I have to go cut a pattern for some metal embroidery.
Hopefully I don't cut *me*.

XXOO~~
Anne...mojoless....

Very nice. I like crazy cat ladies.

Curious Art said...

Hahaha! Monet has nothing on Cat Mama. It's a good thing my obsessions don't go in that direction (though I am quite fond of cats & polka-dots)-- I'm already on thin ice with my husband as it is. %}

Lovely!

dosankodebbie said...

LOL I just realized you must have chosen the pink-colored type to match the pink bowls and polka dots in your illo. Maybe another kind of obsession? If so, it's a charming one.
