Concerning the art work
This each day sketch was completed in felt-tip brush markers, signed and dated 7/7/12.
“Even when it’s too scorching to cuddle, I nonetheless love my sister.”
That’s Jelly Bean and Mewsette having fun with a quiet second searching the basement door. Really, Jelly Bean was attempting to get Mewsette to present him a bit tub on the pinnacle, understanding that if he leaned in at simply the suitable angle and simply the suitable second, Mewsette would flip and lick him with out even fascinated by it. It didn’t work, but it surely was okay.
Jelly Bean and Mewsette are black however as I’ve enjoyable sketching them in completely unrealistic colours. On this case I needed to specific the sunshine on a scorching summer time morning. After I’d checked out it a couple of instances I may simply think about a bit crimson coronary heart above the 2 so I drew that individually, however in the identical type.
Nuzzles and Purrrrrs
The operatically romantic Giuseppe Basil Verdi and the French-Canadian belle femme Mlle. Daisy Emerald Marguerite have been carrying on a long-distance affaire for the reason that summer time of 2011; they at all times conclude their correspondence with “nuzzles and purrrrrs”, therefore the title and the textual content inside.
I photographed Mewsette and Giuseppe cuddling on my desk whereas I labored at my pc and posted them as a each day photograph. So many readers instantly mentioned “Valentine” that I believed I’d oblige with a design! And regardless that it’s Mewsette and never Mlle. Daisy, Mewsette appears a lot like the beautiful and dignified Mlle. that she is a stand-in when wanted, and at all times is aware of when her brother wants a hug.
The message inside is “NUZZLES AND PURRRRRS” in a extremely enjoyable font. Card comes with alternative of crimson or white acid-free envelopes that are inkjet/laser appropriate.

The siblings of the Improbable 4 typically cuddle and hug, cheek to cheek, however this design, tailored from the unique heart-shaped cats photograph of Mr. Sunshine and Mewsette continues to be my favourite; the background colour of the cardboard is customized from the colour of their eyes.
I photographed these two within the lavatory at night time in poor mild, however irrespective of, such a candy photograph, I’d do my finest. Since then I’ve tailored the 2 into many alternative designs and colours. Right here, for Valentine’s day, they’re stable black with the stable cerise of their eyes, and only one crimson coronary heart as they hug.

This each day sketch was completed in felt-tip ink technical drawing pen with watercolor washes, signed and dated 1/6/12, and footage Jelly Bean and Mewsette utilizing a crimson blanket I’d tossed to the touchdown for the laundry as a comfortable impromptu cat mattress.
Black cats, like white cats, have all kinds of colours of their fur, and within the day’s filtered daylight their fur glistened with all kinds of highlights and shadows. The randomly formed and wrinkled crimson blanket heightened the vary of colours of their fur and even the impartial wooden ground held random mixtures in its previous unfinished grain. Principally, the composition was what attracted me within the first place: two related heavy rounded shapes, the random delicate form and the sleek form introduced components collectively in a really pleasing method.

Not like all of the others, this card is clean inside, prepared on your message.

And a really particular Valentine, or an adoption card
Emeraude got here to me as an emaciated 19-year-old foster cat alongside along with her 20-year-old fur brother. they didn’t have a lot time with me however every of them and I made probably the most of each minute. By no means hesitate to undertake an older pet!
Feline Valentine, You’re By no means Too Outdated
I’ve included this card in my Valentine submit as a result of, nicely, it’s all about love, isn’t it? Once I sat all the way down to design a sympathy card within the title of Emeraude , this concept saved coming again to me so I truly designed it first. Is that this what Emeraude would say? I’m positive, and it’s seemingly what a variety of different senior kitties on the lookout for a house would say as nicely. And it makes me smile.
