Starcat


A Starcat plays with planet Earth. Your cat would, too, if he got the chance. This piece is an attempt at a more "graphic" style, that is, flatter and more stylized. The nebula background is done with an airbrush. Cat lovers and astrophysics lovers often go together, because cats challenge the laws of physics and cosmology. They have variable mass, and often absorb or bend light like a black hole. Watch the galactic cat leap through space-time! If you look closely, you can see the dimensions of the cosmic Paw...

"Starcat" is acrylic on black illustration board, 10" x 7", January 1987.

Trying to comment again, this is a strong graphic. And I was sure it was digital when I first saw it.
