pretend
November 16, 2008
The ill-conceived attempt by Alawicious to make new friends, was further complicated by his lack of quality materials.
The Illustration Friday theme for this week is “Pretend.”

Quite wonderful. I may have said that about your last submission. But your work is very accomplished.

so cute and funny. The cat’s expression is priceless. I just hope you’ll manage to paint lots of very soft moss before he drops 😉

So funny, and I love the bird leaning back and the way they’re looking at eachother, so clever!x
November 17, 2008 at 2:56 am
This is just brilliant! So funny and the perfect (purrrrfect?) answer to the topic. Lovely characterisation.
I will be back later to check out your other stuff as I’m sure it’s gonna be fab.

OMG, Linda. I love this.
November 17, 2008 at 6:30 am
Oh no, no, no, no…. this is too much! LOL! I love this!!!
Look at the little bird, just his body posture says it all! brilliant Linda! Poor Kitty though, he is about to fall.. hope the tree is not to tall.
You are amazing Linda, I know I’ve said it like a gazillion times before, but I don’t care. I’ll say it for a gazillion-and-one more time, you are awesome girl! :o)

love it, its wonderfully done and a fantastic concept. I like the different colored lines on the feather duster. The bird’s design is really interesting.
November 17, 2008 at 9:47 am
Excellent illustration. Sneaky cat.
November 17, 2008 at 10:48 am
Love the humor to this one! I like how the bird is leaning back, lots of great little details!
November 17, 2008 at 11:09 am
Hahaha! He’s (you’re) so clever to use the feather duster as his wings! Terrific idea! There’s too many laughing point here, the feather duster, their expressions, the string – just imagine the next scene without the cat, I just can’t stop laughing!
November 17, 2008 at 12:44 pm
Just wonderful, love it, cant blame the cat, to get more friends we could try everything!!
November 17, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Hysterical! Love the rope, the bird’s expression, the feather dusters….really, brilliant!!
November 17, 2008 at 2:59 pm
I can relate to that rope, my bra is killin’ me!!!!
This is such a winner…the expressions of the two fabulous characters, the props ( 2 diff colored dusters!), the idea…all of it is fantastic!
You never, EVER disappoint 😀

P.S. Oh, and you even included such detail as the pattern on the Dixie cup!!!!! Brilliant.
November 17, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Maybe if he flaps his feather dusters hard enough…….. maybe not!

Wow! Excellent illustration as always.
I just hope that they could be friend.
It’s not easy when taking the frist step, trying to be friend with another clique. I salute the great act of this cat but does he got the good or bad intention behind?
November 18, 2008 at 3:32 am
Totally wonderful! I’ve been thinking a lot about how to introduce a puppy to our older dog; maybe I should put a grey wig on the puppy.
November 18, 2008 at 5:19 am
Ehehehee! Delicious! Love it! 😉
November 18, 2008 at 5:42 am
This was a GRATE illustration!

… I have a suspicion, Alawicious wants only to make new friends, or
he has a gourmet interest?
