Here we have 2 very short stories. One is about how song tunes can get stuck in your head, and the other is about how some people say they love your work and they are very impressed until you ask them to really examine the work..The twist is is that when the ‘bluff'(/) is called the actions become almost petty and very different than from the first things that have been said. It does amuse me. Ink on acid free card A4.
Hospital Drama 8 May 2023 This cartoon drawing is about a couple of dramas that went on at the hospital. Pills get frozen and clothes get stolen. Yes!!! But that’s not everyone and it’s certainly not the usual thing that happens in a hospital…surely. …..(Yikes!???) Everything turned out well though and it really pays to speak up about things when you can! I tend to chuckle to myself reading this cartoon. A4 on acid free card. Ink.
In Hospital Again 4 May 2023 was drawn in my hospital stay in May 2023. A cartoon explaining some of the ins and outs that had been going on at the time, my views and feelings. . The drawing was coloured by copic inks at a later stage and then presented here, and on my Instagram page- annaborosartist The Instagram page mostly shows my ongoing work and is up to date. A4 in size.
A rather whimsical work, though the truth of the matter is that I have had 13 cats in my loungeroom, though quite some years ago. I used to rescue cats, but I do not do it on such a large scale these days. Unfortunately, people in my area who were renting that could not afford to rent anymore, left their animals behind for other people to take care of the homeless. Its quite the disgusting part about human nature isn’t it, right?
Just before the end of a passing year, I endeavour to keep to a tradition of making a drawing before the year goes out . Sometimes, it is not possible, but this time it was, and it is probably because most of us are at home having a quiet time in, not venturing out for parties so much, due to the new Omicron Virus. So before I entered into 2022, I drew this A3 sized work as something amusing to bide the time away. I do like a few easier works before I set out on a major work again. The inspiration for this was that recently, a fellow artist told me that ‘ You do love your cats’ due to me having quite a few drawings and some paintings of them. So I had a giggle, and called the bluff, and did this particular drawing of which another was added in 2022 titled ‘ I Love Meow’ in the January 2022.
This original is an A3 size on 220 GSM Acid Free Card. Drawn Comic style in ink outlining, and Derwent coloured pencils which gives it a ‘young feel’ about it. The texture in the work is made obvious for this reason. I guess it could go well, enlarged for a children’s room, or just a fun animal lovers abode. It is colourful and some of the individual cat drawings are quite funny: ie. The drooling kitty, the anime kitty, the toothy kitty, and so on.
You Wanted More Cats. Original A3 in size, but can be enlarged to a similar sized poster sized print as shown below.
