With upon recently getting my hands on a borrowed camera I have been able to take more pictures of some past work.

This piece is of a still life that I once did in water colors. The size is about 17 x 22 inches which is 432 x 599 mm. It's one of the first times I had started using water colors and the paper is water color paper. Which means it's a bit rough. To quote my art teacher of the past, "Have you ever used water colors before?" Me- "Not really, I'm raw with it." Him-"I think you're better with water colors than you are with drawing."

At first I was a bit insulted. Then I realized he had a bit of a point. This piece was soft yet strong and beautiful.

The next few works will be about one project in which I was using ink. The kind of ink they use for comic books. It was a few of my first attempts to use pen and ink and I rather like the feel. Having been my first works in it, I used washes as well to vary in taste.

This work would have a caption of "Cat got your tongue?"
I used red ink as well as black and some amount of cross hatching. Though the cross hatching looks like shadows with this low quality camera. Gives off a bit of innocence from the cute gray and white pawed cat, I think. Then again I enjoy how it only takes up one side of the page in design.

This last one is "Curiosity killed the cat." It was based on a story my mother once told me of one of her old cats. Only in the picture, the cat has his paw stuck in a light socket and he's being shocked. Took a bit of bone research to make this. The kitty skull is pretty. Just look at those big wide spaces for the eye sockets.

These are all brilliant. I'm not sure which one I like best, because I think there is something great about all of them.

I'd buy the first one. The second one is great because it depicts something we're all familiar with and that's being lost for words sometimes. The third one made me giggle just because it's cool to fry a cat (just kidding!).

Nice work. Looking forward to seeing more :P

You're very good at deviant art and a little surrealism! Have you ever entered an art show with your own booth? I think you should!

Thanks Sulks. :3

And I don't think deviant art is an art genre. O.o I deleted my Deviant art account and made posts on net works like this one or live journal. I've entered small contests but nothing big. I wish I could enter more. v_v Haven't won much in contests except a T-shirt design for something and a few published poems.

"Curiosity killed the cat"... lmao! Forgiving the pun, but I found it to be shockingly funny! haha
