Kittys Drawings

Here it is! I spent a bit more time on this one. Probably another 6 hours. There is still much to do for the guys over at Cult-Of-Pop…Some more tshirt designs and work on a few more vectors.

I have a drawing in mind that will become a card for Annette over at Kittentails…as part of her Postal Party idea Now I just gotta get drawing and SEND IT Yay! Join in the fun by sending your address to Annette and wait for the pretty cards to arrive in your mail!

The weekend was fun – we spent most of the time burning around in our new(old) car – a 1971 Volkswagon Fastback! Weeeee!!!! It’s painted matte black and is a total headturner. Just wait til Jonny starts to pimp it out and THEN it will be even more eyecatching. Teehee. I felt very vintage looking, riding around in that and wearing my new dress We were going to take photos but never got round to it. Maybe next weekend. Promise!
Is it too hypocritical to be wearing a NEW dress that LOOKS old?? Hmm….

The graffiti on the car is how Jonny wants it to look eventually. Plus silver tinted windows, lowered, with mags. Mwahahaha. Thoughts? ;-P

This is the little icon I was talking about. For cult-of-pop.com it’s gonna be used for the movie review system and soon to be on tshirts. Yay!

Now the kitty has colour! And a frame too, plus a bit of a shadow. I think I quite like this. Still nice and simple. I guess I will have to show SJ now – but I have become quite partial to this little kitty.

Other news – I am heading down to see my parents in Tassie for a WHOLE WEEK in May. Yay! I get to play with my letterpress. I can’t wait to take some photos as well as have a go at using it.

It’s gonna be interesting cos I really don’t have any firm idea of how to work it all. Thankfully, my Heidelberg is auto-feeding and there is little chance of me lopping some fingers off during it’s running. I’ll have Dad to supervise anyway and he’s good with machinery.

I am going to see if I can get some plates made here at work and find some other materials to see if I can do some tests on it. I’ll need some paper and some ink. Does anyone know where I can get some letterpress ink here in Australia? I only need one colour for now and only a very small amount.

Somehow I’ll scrounge together a little business with all this. I don’t have a press name yet or anything (been wracking my brain for ages now) or a solid timeline for when I will start for real…but I’ll get there. I know that my style is more suited to fine art prints and maybe business cards – wedding invites aren’t quite my forte. The line version of this cat is what I hope will be my first ever print. Can’t wait!

I’ve put the little kitty through the Illustrator machine. Ah the wonders of Live Trace. Tweaked a bit of course, to get the lines smooth.

I’m a little bit at a loss as to where to go from here. The line is just so nice I don’t know if I should add colour or text…or….Umm…I dunno! 

Suggestions?
